This morning's CFDE Hackathon session introduced the Common Fund Data Ecosystem, Human Microbiome, Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Center, SPARC.science & GTEx Portal. In the afternoon, Jessica Mizzi Lumian demoed the CFDE Search Portal. Recordings are available at: nih-cfde.github.io/2022-may-hacka… Register to attend: bit.ly/3MkPJtH

I was browsing the rOpenSci Use Cases when I stumbled upon the #rstats package `rvitae` for creating CVs from templates. You can semi-automate the process by pulling data from Google Scholar & ORCID (right)! So much faster than using LaTex (left) pkg.mitchelloharawild.com/vitae/

Happening today at 9 am PT! I'm leading a session on using R to analyze RNA-Seq data. Join us! It will be fun! More details at: nih-cfde.github.io/2022-may-hacka… Register here bit.ly/3MkPJtH

Highly recommend! I learned so much as a maintainer. I gained technical experience (Git, GitHub, Markdown, R, Python, UNIX, more?) and learned about the social aspects of collaborating asynchronously on community-developed lessons.
