Spatial Data and Mapping in R

Please join us for an excellent presentation by R-Ladies regular and R wiz Caitlin Clary! Caitlin is a PhD Political Science grad from OSU and a Data Scientist at Biostat Global Consulting LLC. Caitlin will cover the fundamentals of working with spatial data and shapefiles in R. Then we’ll dive into visualizing spatial data with ggplot2 and ggmap and creating dynamic, interactive maps with leaflet.

Unfortunately we had to deviate a bit from our second Thursday of the month regular schedule due to, well, life :)

Typical info below - specifics on the way!
