Creating Résumé/CVs in R & Networking night

Hello everyone,

Let's start the summer off right!

Come swing by for our 1.5-hour workshop on how to create Résumé/CVs in R using the package Vitae, followed by some networking discussion specific to the R community and a dinner after (La Casita). This workshop will be hosted by Lisa Cao. Lisa is a scientific programmer and student in the psychology department at SFU, has taught workshops with the SFU's Scientific Programming Group and works on introducing R and open source into nontechnical fields with a huge community emphasis.

This workshop will be two fold, in the first part we will do some hands on coding with the Vitae package where we will create dynamic and online Résumé/CVs using R and in the second part discuss the R community landscape and how to use it to your advantage in your networking endeavors. After the workshop we will be carrying on the conversation at a restaurant (TBA!) and get to know some of our fellow members.
