General Information

This two-days introductory workshop focuses on boosting your data analysis and visualization expertise with R programming language. The workshop is based on the R package Tidyverse (https://www.tidyverse.org/) and the R graphical user interface (GUI) RStudio (https://rstudio.com/). The tutors will guide you from loading your data in R, choosing a nice tidy data format, through data transformations, statistical modelling and cool visualizations, to communicating results in a reproducible report. We will proceed through a series of exercises. At the end of the workshop, you will master publication-ready visualizations with ggplot2, data transformations and summarizing with dplyr and tidyr, working with dates, character strings, untidy data formats, generating reproducible reports with R Markdown, reading data with fast readr functions, and iterate through them with purrr package. The course is highly inspired by the Garrett Grolemund’s course Master The Tidyverse. Due to space capacity, the workshop will be strictly limited to 20 participants. The course is offered for free. Every participant gets a collection of RStudio cheat-sheets. Plan to attend both days of this course face-to-face on the JAX Bar Harbor campus.

Who: The course is aimed at students and other researchers. Basic R programming skills will be an advantage but true beginners are welcome as well.

Where: 600 Main Street, Bar Harbor, Maine. Get directions with OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.

When: Sep 13-14, 2022. Add to your Google Calendar.

Requirements: Participants must bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on. They should have a few specific software packages installed (listed below).

• The room is wheelchair / scooter accessible.
• Accessible restrooms are available.

Materials will be provided in advance of the workshop and large-print handouts are available if needed by notifying the organizers in advance. If we can help making learning easier for you (e.g. sign-language interpreters, lactation facilities) please get in touch (using contact details below) and we will attempt to provide them.
