Here's a recording of my lightning talk at #PositConf2025 on "Birthing the pregnancy package"

It was a busy fall for me! Gave a talk at #positconf2025 about all the fun and fails I’ve been having working more AI into my job.

Then joined the Posit DS hangout to talk about the conference, marketing data science, & silly side projects.

Yeah, I got a swag bag from #PositConf2025 and the Posit-branded S-Gel pen is in heavy rotation at the moment. I have dozens of other S-Gel pens, but this one has a special place in my heart. Will disassemble others for a refill.

I still use a MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conf water bottle from 2017!

I lucked out at Getting Points and now have a @posit.co bag!!! Am I a real™️ data scientist now? #positconf2025

I'm trying to make code more modular and scalable after attending @andrew.heiss.phd & @gosterhout.bsky.social 's Election Night Reporting Using R & Quarto #PositConf2025 presentation

Does Traveling to a Professional Conference Make Sense if You’re Retired? – My Next Chapter: A Retirement Journey Attending in person isn’t a trivial expense, and some usual rewards like ‘career growth’ no longer apply. But I decided to go to a data science event in Atlanta anyway.

Does it make sense to travel to a professional conference after you've retired? I decided to find out! How it went at the #Positconf2025 data science event in Atlanta last week:

I just want to share that I had a blast at #positconf2025! Met so many wonderful people, and gave a talk for the first time. It was awesome!

A day after my #positconf2025 presentation, I'm delighted to share that my new package {shinystate} has arrived on CRAN!

Learn how {shinystate} supercharges bookmarkable state and more in this blog post: shinydevseries.com/blog/2025-09...

(Even Dr. Light & Dr. Wily like it too 🤖 )

#RStats #Shiny

#PositConf2025 inspired me to get serious about learning the {vitals} and {targets} #RStats 📦s. Any suggested resources besides the 📦 websites?

(Also: I need to get serious about using {testthat} more. And I'm trying out Positron for more coding.)

Follow the R-Ladies Boston! We had our first virtual meet-up with @ddiannae.bsky.social giving us a fantastic recap of the #positconf2025. We'll keep you updated on virtual and in-person hangouts.

From First-Time Attendee to Speaker: My posit::conf Journey – Jeremy R. Winget, PhD Seven years of growth, community, and bridging behavioral science with R tooling at posit::conf

Last week, I went from long-time attendee to first-time speaker at #PositConf2025. I shared how behavioral science can help #rshiny cut user friction and build kinder tools. Even ended with #rstats contributions.

I couldn't be more grateful! Recap 👇

So, in the final minutes of the DS hangout, someone promised otter pics from #positconf2025… and then the meet ended. Hi 🖐🏼

It’s me, Darakhshan—the one who weirdly asked that epidemiology question, forgot mid-sentence, and just realized it was being recorded. 🎃

@JessTheUnstill my first reaction to hearing that Houston is site for posit::conf(2026) - announced at #positconf2025

posit::conf(2025) is @posit.co 's data science conference that took place in Atlanta & virtually last week, with a focus on #RStats & #Python

Screenshot of Positron data explorer with list of files on left, parquet file highlighted. Next column has sparkline visualizations for each column. To the right is a table display of the data.

You can use the Positron data explorer on csv and parquet files without first loading them into an #RStats or Python data frame! Just click on the file name in the explorer.
(Learned at #Positconf2025 )
Soon, filtering/sorting data in the data explorer will generate R code for that view.

Wrapped up my very first presentation at #positconf2025 🎤✨
Nerves, excitement, and so much joy.
What made it unforgettable was finally meeting people I’ve only known online until now.
Grateful for the community, connections, and the chance to share my work. 🚀
