Lighting talks are five minute talks. You can talk about anything R, Tech, and/or Data Science related. Looking for ideas? How about talking about a cool package you found, how you use R in your company, a favorite learning resource, your journey into Data Science, or a side project you've been working on?

We would especially love to hear from people who've never presented at a meetup or conference before and/or those who still don't feel confident speaking publicly. A lightning talk can be a great way to start out speaking, as it's quick, low-prep, and fun!

Interested in proposing a talk but want to brainstorm ideas, get feedback, or some encouragement? We're here to help! You can join the #lightningtalks channel in our slack channel or email nyc@rladies.org. We would be happy to set up a time to talk with you!

Tonight's lineup of speakers is:

1. **Clara Wang: Using Shiny to Avoid Boring Tasks at Work**
2. **Crystal Lewis: A Comparison of Packages to Generate Codebooks in R**
3. **Blaire Hamelehle: Mapmaking Data Stories**
4. **Susmita Paul, Northwell Health: Logistic Regression in the Tidyverse**
5. **Natalia Andriychuk: Creating an R Center for Excellence in a large pharma company**
1. **Twitter: @datascienceandi**
6. **Daniela Cortez: Air Analytics**
7. **Dorota Rizik: Base R vs. Tidyverse: Regular Expression Edition**

To celebrate the diversity in the R Community, we're prioritizing presenters who identify as a minority gender (including but not limited to cis/trans women, trans men, non-binary, genderqueer, agender).
