Chester Ismay (http://ismayc.github.io/) - Data Science Curriculum Lead, DataCamp

Topic(s): I’ll be briefly talking about the results of two lightning talks and also two full talks. The first lightning talk analyzed the state of naming conventions in R by scraping NAMESPACE and Rd files on CRAN. The second lightning talk was about the r2anki package, which uses spaced repetition learning to help you improve your vocabulaRy. From the full talks, I will be discussing the osmdata package allowing for OpenStreetMap data to be read into R. Additionally, the papr shiny web application designed to be tinder for pre-prints will be demonstrated.
