rOpenSci Community Meetup: Transforming science through open data and software

rOpenSci is a non-profit initiative that promotes open and reproducible research using shared data and reusable software. We are creating technical infrastructure in the form of carefully vetted, staff- and community-contributed R software tools that lower barriers to working with scientific data sources on the web, and building a welcoming and diverse global community of R users and developers from a range of research domains.

We're holding our annual staff and leadership meeting in Vancouver, so we’re taking the opportunity to share what we do and, if you’re interested, how you can get involved. Monday, March 12, 2018
5:30-7:30pm = 7 talks & demos
7:30-9:00pm = hang out over snacks & refreshments
