I had a great time at the @ThePalAss annual meeting last week and presenting @ThePalaeoverse's rmacrostrat R package 📦. Big thanks to all the organisers (@emmadnn, @Thomas_Clements, @rachelwarnock, @reefshugger, and team) for a fantastic meeting!
If you are interested in accessing and making use of Macrostrat's data (macrostrat.org) within the R environment, check out the rmacrostrat R package developed by @bethany_j_allen, @willgearty, @PrincessQuatris, and I!
