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 Thursday January 28, 2021 from 3-4:30pm (virtual meetup on Zoom). We will have an exciting presentation from Jocelyn Chavez (https://josschavezf.netlify.app) a Ph.D. student at the Biotechnology Institute-UNAM in Mexico! She will give an introduction to the R/Bioconductor (http://bioconductor.org) ecosystem, using Bioconductor packages, contributing packages, how to get help, attending the annual conference, and also sharing her experience with Bioconductor in general. If you haven't heard of Bioconductor, you can think of it like a cousin to CRAN, but for the analysis of biological data.

WHO is this for?

  • If you are new to R & want to know more about what is Bioconductor!
  • If you work with biological data in R, but are unfamiliar with Bioconductor!
  • If you are interested contributing to Bioconductor to analyze biological 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).
