R-Ladies Baltimore -- Mapping Neighborhood Air-Quality with Shiny (Virtual)

R-Ladies Baltimore (Bmore) is the local Baltimore chapter for the larger R-Ladies global organization (rladies.org) to promote gender diversity in the R community.

The next event is Tuesday November 17, 2020 from 3-4:30pm (virtual meetup on Zoom). We will have an exciting joint presentation from Marynia Kolak (https://makosak.github.io) (Assistant Director of Health Informatics, Senior Lecturer in Geographic Information Science, Center for Spatial Data Science at the University of Chicago) and Isaac Kamber (Undergraduate student at University of Chicago) on Mapping Neighborhood Air-Quality Factors for a Smart City with R Shiny. They will discuss how they calculated and visualized air quality metrics for the Chicago Health Department.

WHO is this for?

• If you are new to R & want to learn about Shiny apps!
• If you work with spatial data in R (e.g. geographical spatial data), but not sure how to visualize it with R!
• If you are interested in using R to learn about analyzing air quality data!

If any/all of this is true, this event might be for you!

FAQ:
Q: Are men welcome to attend R-Ladies events?
A: Yes, men are welcome at this event. Our mission is to encourage more women and non-binary individuals to get involved in the R community. However, we ask that cis men come as guests of women and gender minorities to our events to promote a sense support and encouragement for women and gender minorities in the R community. Please help us by spreading the word about R-Ladies. Please also take the time to review our code of conduct before you attend: https://github.com/rladies/starter-kit/wiki/Code-of-Conduct

The term "women and gender minorities" is inclusive of individuals who identify as female (trans and cis), trans-men, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, intersex, and all minority genders).
