Getting data into R

This workshop will feature a few 5-minute presentations followed by a hands on getting data into R workshop. The workshop will feature a variety of R packages used for importing various types of data into R.

If you're interested in giving a 5-minute presentation featuring your work in R (ideally related to the workshop topic, but we're flexible), please email mine@rladies.org and/or elaine@rladies.org with your brief pitch.

If you have a specific example you're struggling with regarding getting data into R, please bring it along. We can't promise to solve it, but talking through it as a group could be helpful and instructive to everyone.
