Workshop on Data Visualization

This workshop will cover some more advanced topics of data visualization in R, specifically focusing on the ggplot package. Topics will include library extensions and add-in apps, tips and tricks (e.g. facet_grid margins), common troubles with ggplot (e.g. sorting in descending order) and best practices. Some familiarity with R and ggplot will be useful and expected, but not required - novice R users are encouraged to attend. We will be using RStudio Cloud for this workshop. We recommend creating a free account ahead of time here: https://login.rstudio.cloud/register
