Attention **R beginners**:

Tired of copy pasting blocks of code? Found yourself fixing the same bug in five different places? Want to test many variations of your script? Generate multiple similar plots?

Write R functions! They will make your R code more concise, easier to read, debug, and mantain.

We'll have two short sessions:

**Introduction to functions**
Martin Herrerias will discuss basic function syntax, arguments, and environments

**Generating plots with functions**
Sian Bladon will give a brief introduction to *ggplot2* and talk about using the *map* function from *purrr* to automate creating multiple plots
