For this virtual meetup, we're collaborating with the folks at RStudio and hosting Kara Woo (Principal Bioinformatics Engineer at Sage Bionetworks). We'll start off with a brief introduction to rstudio::global(2021) and then watch Kara's rstudio::global talk "Always look on the bright side of plots" followed by a live Q&A with Kara! Zoom password will be sent out the day of the event.
Always look on the bright side of plots
Everyone who creates visualizations in R is bound to make mistakes that prevent their plots from looking as they should. Sometimes, these mistakes create beautiful "accidental aRt", though other times they're just plain frustrating. Either way, however, there's something to be learned. This talk will draw on years of watching both the ggplot2 issue tracker and the @accidental__aRt Twitter account to highlight some common plot foibles and explain what they can teach us about how ggplot2 works.
rstudio::global is a free, virtual event on all things R & RStudio.
It's hosted over 24-hours – giving people at different timezones a number of options to conveniently engage – with a number of talks and community-engagement events we hope you'll enjoy. It starts on January 21 at 4:00 PM GMT. Learn more about rstudio::global and register at https://global.rstudio.com.
