For today's #30DayChartChallenge, I used the {marimekko} package 📦.

I'm both excited and a little terrified. It feels like a wave of AI-assisted tool rewrites is coming to bioinformatics whether we like it or not.
We figured that the best we can do is to try to get ahead of it, so we wrote down some principles for doing it responsibly: rewrites.bio
Second day of the 2026 #30DayChartChallenge, tried the {ggpop} package.
Day 0️⃣2️⃣ | Comparisons | Pictogram

The 2026 #30DayChartChallenge kicks off today!
For this year's challenge, I'll use the Palmer Penguins dataset as often as possible.

Thanks @nrennie.bsky.social, I was searching for ideas for the #30DayChartChallenge :-)

You're more than welcome @ivelasq3.bsky.social, thanks for the great content! I'm pondering the idea of preparing a "dplyr updates" workshop in my lab :)

The latest RWeekly issue is out! This week's highlights include @ivelasq3.bsky.social 's @rladiesrome.bsky.social tutorial showing the new features in {dplyr} v1.2.0, and @tylermw.com 's post on Atmospheric Simulation in #RStats.

Fantastic, thanks!
Will there be a video released?
Just posted on the Github issue
Excited to share this preprint that describes my latest work on using GPUs to accelerate processing of RNA-seq data.
The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... and github github.com/pachterlab/k...
Figure 1 shows they key result

I've just made live the updated website that accompanies my R book (www.discovr.rocks) - it's mostly finished: almost all of the chapter solutions/task solutions are done, data are live, updated info about the `discovr` package of interactive tutorials, and it's had a face lift.
mlu-explain.github.io have some pretty interesting stuff
rix, my package that leverages #Nix to provide reproducible data science environments for #RStats (and #python and #julia) is in the top 10 starred ropensci packages!
that’s pretty cool
Well done!! 🎉
Great idea :-)
The recordings from Shiny in Production 2025 are now available.
Talks from speakers around the world on how they use Shiny in R and Python to solve real-world data problems.

Just received Josh Starmer's latest book. Great way to dig deeper into some of his videos' concepts!

#rstats filter_out is good
Last week we released dplyr 1.2.0, but we left off something VERY important 🙂
`dplyr::if_else()` and `dplyr::case_when()` are now up to 30x faster and use 10x less memory!
We dive into how we achieved these numbers in this new #rstats post!

Looks great @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social ! Working on new tutorials at the moment, will have to try those out !

Very nice!
Inscription faite ! Hâte de participer à ces #RencontresR pour la toute première fois. Il ne me reste plus qu'à soumettre un résumé ☺️

#rstats I've given a workshop a few days ago on handling large data (think tens to hundreds of millions of rows) with Polars in Python and in R.
Here are my introductory slides: brussels-large-data-r-python.etiennebacher.com
