ggplot2 and the scales package: A tour on my summer internship at RStudio

First released over 10 years ago, ggplot2 is now one of the most popular packages on CRAN, downloaded hundreds of thousands of times per month and used in perhaps a million or more plots.
Come join us for this meetup, where Dana will discuss her summer internship developing for the ggplot2 and scales packages, and demonstrate some of the most useful functions in the lesser-known but very powerful scales package. Come with your ggplot2 puzzles and/or general development questions, she will happily attempt to answer them all!

You are encouraged to bring your laptops to follow along!

• Speaker Bio
Dana interned for Hadley Wickham at RStudio this summer working on development of the scales and ggplot2 packages. In the past, she has interned with the Google Maps GeoDataAnalytics team, taught undergraduate and graduate bio-statistics and data science courses in R at UC Berkeley, and co-organized and taught an international workshop on Movement Ecology in R last January. Currently, she is a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley studying animal movement and the spread of disease hoping to make the transition to a full time data science position in Summer 2019. She has been a member of R-LadiesSF since 2014 and you can find her at almost every WiMLDS Code and Coffee EastBay meetup.
