I was an opportunity scholar at #positconf in 2023, and I hope that this encourages you to apply, just like someone encouraged me to apply.
It was a life-changing chance to do something I never dreamed I could do! What have you got to lose?

Government friends, submit talks, enough to enable a government track for a day or half day. It means a lot when we can sit and chat and exchange ideas with fellow govys for more than 20 minutes.
And you, yep you who are doubting yourself, submit one please!

Hi #pydata! My #pydataseattle tutorial on dashboards and #ai are up: chendaniely.github.io/pydata-seattle-2025-llm
It's a condensed version of my #positconf #python and #nydsaic workshops:
github.com/posit-conf-2025/shiny-py

#databs
My talk from #positconf 2025 is now up! I got to introduce our survey platform and #rstats package #surveydown. It's been a fun project with @pingfanhu.bsky.social & Bogdan Bunea, and I hope it can be useful for the community of survey researchers out there!

Dr. Cat Hicks (@grimalkina.bsky.social) gave one of my very favorite keynotes of all time at #positconf this year 🥹 It really made my heart glow, and now that all the conf talks are on YouTube, you can watch it even if you missed conf!! #databs #rstats #python

A ruled, flip-top notepad with plastic discs instead of spiral binding sits on a backdrop of hex sticker magnets. There's a white and light grey pen resting on the notebook, and these words are written in pen on the page: this is the best swag I've ever gotten, like, ever.
What's the best "swag" you've ever gotten? Because I got this plastic disc ring notebook thing and this sharpie S-gel 0.7 pen mailed to me during #positconf (thanks, Kaia!!), and I've used them NONSTOP since, to the point where I will replace them if they ever run out.

At #positconf, it was the Pacman rule, and at #pydata Paris, it's the camembert rule! 😁🤣

posit::conf(2025) is @posit.co 's data science conference that took place in Atlanta & virtually last week, with a focus on #RStats & #Python
A wall full of colorful hex stickers from open source software packages.
On my way home from #positconf. It was wonderful to meet you all to talk data science and the like!
#positconf2025
Happy to know I'm not the only one who creates a ggplot2 theme package for every company I work with #positconf.
Not only does it standardize communication, but it also makes a great impression. theme_quintoandar() took about a day to make and led to me reporting directly to the C-level.
Another delightful #positconf in the books! So lovely to see everyone 🌻 I miss it already!
Especially excited about:
🤖 @minecr.bsky.social’s aifeedr
🌬️ Making my code pretty like @davisvaughan.bsky.social’s with air
✨ @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social’s editable quarto magic
📈 everything @kjhealy.co said
Post-conference exhaustion is Real even when virtual 😭
But I need to type up these notes before they complete fall out of my head #positconf
Best community ever ❤️❤️❤️ and I am so pooped!

Great talk about {renv} by @pipinghotdata.com at #positconf. Very practical strategies for restoring and updating project state.
Has anyone also used rv (a2-ai.github.io/rv-docs/)? In my little experience, it is very much like uv for python and looks more helpful than {renv}. #rstats
Jump scare of the day: seeing people talking about my opinions on renv all the sudden in the #positconf discord and having no idea that @pipinghotdata.com (or someone) mentioned me in a talk 😂 I was like, what did I do? What? Who said what? I said something about renv? #rstats #databs
There will be a posit::conf(2026) Europe, location to be determined
#Positconf #Positconf2025 #Positconf2026
Posit::conf(2026) will be in Houston, Sept. 14-16
- announced now at #Positconf2025
#Positconf2026 #Positconf #RStats
Spending the day at #positconf. Really enjoying the final talk @kjhealy.co about the inextricably social process of data visualization and the nature of trust in the work of data science.
loving the phrase “partnership in nosiness” tbh #positconf
Sorry {renv} but nix/rix is the better solution @brodriguesco.bsky.social #positconf
I brought a couple of extra copies of my book 'Scaling Up with R and Arrow' to share with folks at #positconf, which are free to the first couple of people to give me a shout in person! 🏹
