"For an R user [not multi-language user], RStudio is probably going to be the best choice for many people's work, today and for quite a while to come. There's no need to switch [to Positron]." Really insightful podcast episode featuring Julia Silge. superdatascience.com/podcast/817

🙈 It's 11 PM. I'm trying to explain my sister in law why I'm so excited: I managed to run a little R shiny app INSIDE a quarto report rendered _statically_ using Github: holtzy.github.io/quarto-tricks/… 🎉 Now she believes I'm a weirdo 🙂

Don’t give up bc you’ve been infected before, there is very good reason to reduce the number of times you get reinfected as this new works underscores. Great time to be discussing clean indoor air.

“Indoor air is an outlier in our otherwise comprehensive public health framework. Despite people spending the majority of their time inside, IAQ is mostly unregulated, in contrast to the standards that apply to, for example, food and water.” abc.net.au/news/2024-09-2…

To those who criticise Australia's swift lockdown, is this what you would have preferred?

Thanks for meeting with us & for taking this issue so seriously ⁦Anthony Albanese⁩ - it’s crucial for both this airborne pandemic & those that are to come. The lowest hanging fruit for major public health reform. abc.net.au/news/2024-09-2…

A quick reminder that if you are scoring/recoding variables using the same logic in #rstats, you can use across() to score those items all at once.

📢📢Up to 200K over 3 years for meta-research projects in the Canadian context.📢📢 So nice to see this happening in Canada!🥳🥳 #metascience Deadline is Feb 20, 2025. Reach out to SSHRC or CIHR if you have any questions.

Another RETRACTION. The 95th that I caused in the past two years.

For my package, I'm exploring adopting formula interface as the api for one of my functions because I think its easier to use & read (eg. y~ x+b). In adopting it, I had to leverage some {rlang} magic and {purrr} functionality and have some learnings to share with you!

I think this is the best take yet on this issue 👇

Important paper out in The Royal Society PRSB, and not just for students ;) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Many Australians are keen to have an updated COVID vaccine but have had bad reactions to mRNA types which is all that's available now. Novavax is an effective alternative but the government is not allowing this choice. Sign this petition for vaccine equity!

Actual people approved coal mining UNDERNEATH SYDNEY’S WATER CATCHMENT, and significant cultural heritage sites. When will they be held accountable? theguardian.com/australia-news…

We cover much territory here. A takeaway is to learn from the pandemic to do the things we should be doing anyway. Invest strongly in development & R&D because the return is enormous, innovate furiously at all levels (including in financing), be community centric (interventions
