The Toronto Data Workshop meets on Zoom and in person this week Friday, 7 October, noon, ET. Free. All welcome. Register: forms.gle/sXbEixoa1iJR4Q7A8
White background with black text: “This week I will present my thoughts about where data science is, where it needs to go, and my research about how we can get there. I’ve been thinking about this on my own for too many years, so I welcome your push back and criticism. The talk will be recorded and posted to YouTube.” The Toronto Data Workshop logo is also included - a hex sticker with a light blue thin border, and dark blue background with the CN Tower outlined in white on the left side of the sticker, and “Toronto Data Workshop” in a jaunty font on the the right side.

If you’re not giving your data science students the chance to make a website and fill it with projects, then my @UofTStatSci students are taking their jobs ;)
Black background, white text that reads: During this course, establishing a GitHub website lays a foundation for my future career. It is the most useful course I’ve ever had! During my interview, the interviewer mentioned that he went through my GitHub website.

If you are teaching #rstats and the tidyverse this fall consider using tidydatatutor.com in your course to teach and visualize data analysis pipelines!

In another episode of “I use R for absolutely everything,” I wrote a post on creating conference posters using R Markdown. If you’re tired of copy-pasting and manually formatting your poster, try out posterdown for reproducible, pretty posters!✨#RStats bit.ly/pstrdwn

Such an outstanding piece written by @becksup — captures so many of the nuances pertaining to teaching track positions. So many great lines, will pull out a few… 1/n Can a Teaching Track Improve Undergraduate Education? chronicle.com/article/can-a-…

I might be a science nerd, but the list of authors alone is enough to get me excited to read this!

This is too good not to share.

Statistics is one of my weaker subjects. Like, I can teach box-and-whisker plots, I can teach measures of central tendency, but linear regression? That's where I draw the line.
We tweet tip top RStudio IDE tips tweets, but for tip top tidyverse and other tool tweets, you should totally follow @rstudio_glimpse, a "glimpse()" into the universe of @rstudio tools.

I can't wait to read this one. Granted, I'm sold on the idea already.

Our paper on teaching #rstats w/ tidyverse and its strengths, particularly in the context of teaching & learning, is out in TISE! 🥳 📃 An educator’s perspective of the tidyverse ✍️ w/ @jo_hardin47 @BaumerBen @AmeliaMN @askdrstats @rundel 🔗 doi.org/10.5070/T514154352 #OpenAccess
Screenshot of Table 1 from the paper. Table caption: "Table 1: Summary of pedagogical benefits of the tidyverse discussed in this paper." Table headers: "Concept" and "Description". Table contents: - Consistency: Syntax, function interfaces, argument names and orders follow patterns - Mixability: Ability to use base and other functions within tidyverse syntax - Scalability: Unified approach to data wrangling and visualization works for datasets of a wide range of types and sizes - User-centered design: Function interfaces designed with users in mind - Readability: Interfaces that are designed to produce readable code - Community: Large, active, welcoming community of users and resources - Transferability: Data manipulation verbs inherit from SQL’s query syntax
