About us
We are a local chapter of R-Ladies, a global non-profit organization encouraging, inspiring and empowering women and non-binary people to become contributors and leaders in the R programming community ([https://rladies.org/).](https://rladies.org/).)
Our mission is to create a friendly, inclusive and diverse community for people who code or would like to learn how to code in R in the Vancouver area. As a community, we focus on giving opportunities, mentorship and voice to women and non-binary people who remain an underrepresented group in the programming realm.

Questions and Answers:
What is R and who is R for?
R is one of the top programming languages for processing, analyzing and visualizing data. Anyone who works with data, which in this day and age is almost most of us, can benefit from basic knowledge of R and find its data science tools useful. R is open-source, free and is supported by a welcoming, generous and fun community of developers.
What events are run or planned to be run by R-Ladies Vancouver?
Workshops, talks, spotlight on research utilizing R, hackathons and coding cafe evenings. Monthly, free of charge.

Rainy Day Bioacoustics: Listening to Birds with R
Vancouver Public Library - Mount Pleasant Branch, 1 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC V5T 0A1, Canada, Vancouver, BC, CAAs the Vancouver rain sets in, getting out into the field to listen to birds gets a bit trickier—but we can still tune in from the comfort of R! In this hands-on workshop, Sunny will introduce essential R packages designed for bioacousticians. We will walk through extracting bird sounds from Xeno-Canto, running machine learning models like BirdNET to detect species, and visualizing acoustic results—all within R! Along the way, we'll explore beautiful bird vocalizations and spotlight common Pacific Northwest species you hear around Vancouver, from the cheerful songs of Song Sparrows and Black-capped Chickadees to the ever-present Crows.
