Project Workflow Using R

Maybe you've heard about reproducibility in research and that using R is a good way to achieve it. However, your still wondering, where do I start? How do I transition from Excel to R? How does R know where my data are? What is an R project? Where does reproducibility come in? This workshop is for you. We will assume some (very) basic knowledge of R and ask you to discuss how you work with R for your projects (and how you hope to improve your workflows). This workshop is great opportunity for us to learn tips and tricks from each other.

R-Ladies RTP member, Dr. Alzbeta (Betka) Talarovicova, will show us her R project workflow while sharing useful tips on how to structure R projects and associated data. She will also share resources on best practices for experimental reproducibility. Some of the general topics she will discuss, include: Rprojects from RStudio, Rmarkdown, googlesheets, tidyverse packages, project file management, and more. You can download materials for this workshop via GitHub: https://github.com/Talqa/project_woRkflow .

Light refreshments will be served.

Parking: It's free to park outside SAS Hall after 5pm.

All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests and must be accompanied by the R-Lady who invited them. This group was created so those who identify as women have a comfortable place to learn. If you would like to attend and feel excluded, please introduce yourself to an organizer.
