[1/n] I recently offered a free Zoom "intro to R" data visualization workshop after popular demand. Specifically, I went through the use of ggplot2. All disciplines with no prior R skills were welcome. All free materials are below!🧵 @PhDVoice@AcademicChatter@OpenAcademics
[2/n] The week before, I offered a "tech week" where I provided lectures on installing R and RStudio and assumed no prior knowledge. I also went through basic data types and data wrangling in R. MacOS, Windows (32-bit/64-bit), and Tablets were supported: r.patrickbloniasz.com/?page_id=39

I’ve had a few questions from undergraduates about the value of having a personal research website: a 🧵 @PhDVoice@PhDspeaks #AcademicTwitter 1) It is a controllable, digital footprint. Like social media, your website is often the first thing someone sees when they Google you.
With social media (e.g., LinkedIn) you are bound by the functionality offered by the site. An external force determines the look/feel of your posts, projects, and profile. This is not always bad, but having your own website allows for customization–YOU determine what's important.
