ggplot2 workshop with Ursula Laa

We are happy to announce that for the May 2021 Meetup our co-organiser Ursula Laa will offer a tutorial into data visualisation with the ggplot2 R package.

Starting from the underlying principles of tidy data and the grammar of graphics, Ursula will introduce the basic ingredients (aesthetics and geoms) and show how to build a ggplot layer-by-layer. We will see together how we can quickly generate very different graphs with small changes in a standard interface, making it easy to better explore data.

Ursula is a researcher in the Statistics Institute of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna and holds PhD in theoretical particle physics. She focuses in her research on new methods and applications in data science with emphasis on interdisciplinary work, for example connecting her background in physics and her interest in statistical data visualisation.
