BIOS
Jenny is a recovering biostatistician who takes special delight in eliminating the small agonies of data analysis. Specific tools and mental models can make it easier for a data analyst to settle into a productive, alpha-to-omega workflow. She's been using R/S for over 20 years and is an Ordinary Member of the R Foundation. Jenny is working as a developer for RStudio and is Associate Professor of Statistics (on leave) at the University of British Columbia. She serves in the leadership of rOpenSci and Forwards.

Hadley is Chief Scientist at RStudio, a member of the R Foundation, and Adjunct Professor at Stanford University and the University of Auckland. He builds tools (both computational and cognitive) to make data science easier, faster, and more fun. His work includes packages for data science (the tidyverse: including ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr, purrr, and readr) and principled software development (roxygen2, testthat, devtools). He is also a writer, educator, and speaker promoting the use of R for data science. Learn more on his website, http://hadley.nz .
