OxfordRUG October 2022 meetup | Quarto

To kick off the new academic year, we are very excited to be hosting Nicola Rennie https://nrennie.rbind.io/, a statistician and data scientist who currently works at at Jumping Rivers. She will be giving a talk "What can I do with Quarto?: An introduction to reproducible research and reports".

Agenda:

6:00 pm: Talk "What can I do with Quarto?: an introduction to reproducible research and reports" by Nicola Rennie

7:00 pm: Pizza!

Abstract:

Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system, developed by RStudio (Posit). By combining narrative text, code, images, and tables, Quarto allows you to produce elegantly formatted output that is fully reproducible. Quarto is capable of embedding code written in R, Python, Julia, and Observable (for this talk we'll focus on R). It supports dozens of static and dynamic output formats including HTML, PDF, MS Word, slides, dashboards, scientific articles and more.
In this talk, I'll discuss what Quarto is and how it differs from RMarkdown, demonstrate how to make simple documents, and showcase a few features of Quarto that make it incredibly useful.
