Anneke_P (@plants-genes-bugs.bsky.social; 0/1/0; 2026-08-08): As I work my way through “Mastering Shiny” I am constantly impressed by how ✨good✨ @hadley.nz is at teaching coding. It’s not just about how Shiny works, but how to code well & think critically about what you’re doing and trying to create. Taught with sympathy and clarity 👏

Jo Etzel (@joetzel.bsky.social; 3/0/0; 2026-08-05): #introduction
I’m currently a staff scientist at Washington U in St Louis (USA), but (late 2026, early 2027) looking for a new position.
I’m a big fan of task #fMRI, #BIDS, #baseR #Rstats (incl. graphics) and #knitr, #QC, and papers with very extensive #supplementary materials, but not AI. ↪

Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 36/1/3; 2026-07-29): Be around kind nerds. It’s the way. I love just learning new and random things that I’d likely never otherwise bump into!
Just casually chatting with an #rstats or #python data person will inevitably surface a package, a library, a method, SOMETHING I’ve never heard of and it’s the besssstttt. ↪

Ryan Johnson (@ryjohnson09.bsky.social; 21/1/6; 2026-07-31): Interested in giving Positron a try? 🚀
We just launched a free, self-paced learning path covering:
🔹 UI navigation
🔹 Working with data
🔹 Running & managing code

Dirk Eddelbuettel (@eddelbuettel.com; 20/1/2; 2026-07-26): In praise of CRAN, well-crafted automation, and well-curated software: the screenshot shows emails for #Rstats submission RcppArmadillo yesterday. Four hours between submission, and publication.
Nearly 1300 dependent packages tested aumagically. No issues, so automatic publication. So nice. ↪
John Coene (@john-coene.com; 18/0/1; 2026-07-26): I love seeing #rstats in the wild, here a ggplot in a Wikipedia article on the Denarius.

Denis Mongin (@denismongin.bsky.social; 15/1/6; 2026-08-02): The area burned in France so far this summer already exceeds by far all years since 2003. A frightening situation, especially with roughly a month of the fire season still ahead and little rain in the forecast.
