I know I'm biased, but it's so nice to see these two awesome #RStats communities working together.
Kudos to @jeroenooms.bsky.social and the @bioconductor.bsky.social team!
Also, @rconsortium.bsky.social always supporting the R ecosystem 🙏
I'm very excited about this collaboration between @ropensci.org's R-Universe and @bioconductor.bsky.social to build common infrastructure: modernizing build systems for #RStats while expanding and testing new models for governance and development. ropensci.org/blog/2026/04...
Thanks to @jeroenooms.bsky.social for his leadership, the @bioconductor.bsky.social team for being great collaborators, and @rconsortium.bsky.social for their support!
