A remote glimpse into the useR! 2021 conference

Hi Everyone!

Recently the useR! 2021 conference was held. useR! is the main annual R conference where R users, developers, or simply R lovers from any level of experience come together to share new packages and ideas. If you missed out this years useR! conference, or have never had the chance to attend, then this event will be for you! Our very own Anna Quaglieri will give a seminar about her experiences at useR! 2021!

Officially, useR! 2021 was held in Zürich, but due to the ongoing pandemic it was run completely online. In this talk, Anna is going to share her conference experience and highlights that she could follow from the comfort of her Melbourne bedroom. The talk will cover a broad range of topics, from new packages for data visualization, discussions and methods to allow R in production, package testing, highlights from keynotes talks, and more!

Two months ago she joined the Melbourne based startup Mass Dynamics where she is working as a Bioinformatics Data Scientist. At Mass Dynamics Anna develops workflows for the analysis of mass spectrometry data, with the aim of helping more life scientists transform proteomics data to knowledge.
