AOS 2018 TUCSON

Meet me at AOS 2018 in Tucson!

I’ve just got the announcement from the American Ornithologist Society panel that I’ll be leading TWO events at the conference in Tuscon.

  • Auriel Fournier and I will continue the tradition of teaching our R Workshop at AOS
    “Taking the Next Step with R: Data Management, Publication Quality Graphics and Function Building”

We’re taking notes from last year and changing the structure of the workshop a bit. This year we are continuing to teach the the Tidyverse section and Auriels every popular GGplot course. I am changing up the structure of my portion and focusing on function building with an emphasis on automation. I hope this will allow students get learn something new and at a pace that will hopefully stick with them.

The workshop is April 10th.

I’ll post the updates as I get them on the Course page.

  • I am leading the First meeting of the R oRnithologists!

With R’s ever increasing popularity there is a rise in biologists using it to make amazing products. However, these advancements are often not communicated and shared with others in the community. Therefore there is a need to get R programmers together to talk standards, methods, and show off cool things being built in R

As I focus heavily on user inteface with R, I will be presenting a couple of widgets I’ve built in Shiny and discuss the usefulness of using R in your lab.

Come join us April 13, 2018 to talk R.
