Please always be kind on #TidyTuesday and also realize this may be the *first time* newcomers have engaged with the #rstats commmunity OR posted their work publicly. Default to celebrating others work and err on the side of asking if someone wants constructive feedback!

Dear #rstats folks, In 2 weeks I’ll start teaching Intro to Data Science. I’m trying something new: having students work on the #TidyTuesday data each week. I’ll be encouraging (but not forcing) them to tweet about it. TIA for being kind and supportive!

Data may not be neutral and it's often abused but it's necessary and powerful political tool. A great piece that features @YESHICAN who will be keynoting @hopeconf next Tuesday ft.com/content/156f770a-1d77…

Great thread about the dangers of interpreting correlational data causally.

@EpiEllie8 May 2020
There’s a new paper circulating today about “risk factors” for COVID19 which is getting misinterpreted in a pretty common way: applying conclusions about causation to results obtained via methods designed only for finding correlations. It’s time for a #tweetorial!
