CalgaryR: The Fall season unrolls

October 22, 2024 6:00 PM
Calgary R

Using R anywhere in your life? Whether R is all you talk about, a computer language polyglot, or just starting a career or a hobby as a citizen data scientist with R in your toolbox, you are CalgaryR material. Bring your research workflows using Tidyverse, CRAN, Bioconductor, git, etc, a work application (talk to your boss first), or your weekend or evening hobby and share it. We want to be curious and see what others can do for work, science, or pure curiosity mixed with fun using the rich R ecosystem. Please submit proposals to Pablo Adames via this meetup messenger or through e-mail at [email protected] Include the title, a summary highlighting the R-relevant content and your contact information.
