.@dominicraab I've responded to @DefraGovUK sandeel consultation to support a ban on industrial trawling for this important fish in English waters. Please lend your support and help save our globally threatened seabirds who rely on sandeels to survive. #SaveOurSeabirds

RStudio is now Posit 🎉 Find the new handle @posit_pbc and the brand new site at posit.co !! I'm really excited that we can double down on our commitment to open source - it's going to be a fun ride! #RStats #PyData #DataScience 1/5

I should have mentioned that @JennyBryan asked the question that inspired this work.
The #rstats manuals are great - these just need a #quarto_pub makeover, so @chrisderv and I gave it one. Browse the manuals with code formatting, better layout of tables of content, ... The conversion runs once a week. Please report issues at github.com/rstudio/r-manuals…

If you want automatic agenda slides (based on H1 headers) in @quarto_pub presentations with @revealjs, then this Quarto extension might help. github.com/andrie/reveal-aut… See a live preview at andrie.quarto.pub/reveal-aut… (Inspired by a question from @PipingHotData) #rstats

There are very few places left where you can simultaneously write open source software, create things lots of people actually use, contribute to a mission that isn't "getting people to click ads", and do it all remotely. @rstudio is one of them. Join us!
Reminder that the @RStudio IDE and Workbench teams are hiring for C++ and Javascript software developers!! Come work for a great company with great benefits! rstudio.com/about/job-postin… #DataScience

Investing in Python tooling will also make it easier for them to adopt some of your favourite R frameworks.
I'll admit I was skeptical of #rstudio's investments in Python at first, but speaking to dozens of folks at #rstudioconf2022 has convinced me that one of the best things we can do for #rstats users is to make it easier for them to work with their Pythonista colleagues.

This is a fascinating article, both how the penguins stay warm, and how complex behaviour emerges from simple local optimization.
Temperatures inside a huddle of emperor penguins can reach a balmy 100°F. As wind flow and temperature around the huddle shift, the penguins adjust to maximize ambient heat and protect their eggs. quantamagazine.org/math-of-t…

There's a new version of the {{modeldata}} package on CRAN. modeldata.tidymodels.org There is a great data set (tate_text). We're also going to remove the two OkCupid data sets in the next version. #rstats

I've been working on an #rstats package that enables mail merging from R Markdown documents, data frames and gmail. I made my first submission to CRAN today, so now would be a good time to take mailmerge for a test drive. github.com/andrie/mailmerge

This is a great talk, and I'll ask John your questions during the Q&A session that immediately follows the keynote itself.
