August 2018: An evening with Hadley Wickham

Hello R-Ladies community!

We are extremely excited to host Hadley Wickham at our August meetup! Hadley is a Chief Data Scientist at RStudio, a member of the R Foundation, and Adjunct Professor at Stanford University and 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 (e.g. ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr, purr and readr) and principal software development (roxygen2, testthat, devtools).

Join us for a fun evening with Hadley and fellow R enthusiasts. Mega thanks to Microsoft for supporting this event with venue and pizza!
