BEGINNERS:
Come along to our first workshop where we will introduce you to the basics of R for data science. No prior experience with programming is required. If you are not excited enough after the workshop, be ready to be amazed by a series of lightning talks, that will showcase some of the fantastic work done by our community!

INTERMEDIATE- ADVANCED USERS:
Help us out by contributing as a tutor or give a lightning talk (5 min) and show us what you do in R! Any topic is welcome, whether you’d like to share your work, a cool package or some tips and tricks in R!
Please email us via amsterdam@rladies.org by 19th May if you would like to do either! We would love to have your contribution to the event!
