@epigenci Why?

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

@epigenci Congratulations! I will start my PhD program at Texas A&M University's Statistics Department this year. Maybe we can meet up at JSM (Joint Statistical Meetings).🥳

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

@TAMUstats I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to all the professors who encouraged and supported me during the application season. Your guidance, advice, and kind words were invaluable to me. I couldn't have done this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏 #phdlife

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

🎉 Thrilled to share that I will be joining @TAMUstats this August to pursue my PhD in Statistics! 📚

Grateful for the incredible support from professors and friends who have been instrumental in my journey. 🙏

Gig 'em, Aggies! 👍 #AggieProud #TAMU #PhDJourney

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

@TAMUstats Sincere thanks to MD Anderson, U of Colorado, U of Minnesota for their offers, and Weill Cornell, Mayo Clinic, USC, U of Michigan for the interview opportunities. Your support means the world to me! 🙏 #PhDApplication #StatisticsPhD

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

Time to add some new interactive data viz 📈 and analysis methods 🧐 to MicrobiomeStat! Also on my todo list: improve documentation 📝 and work on that new tutorial on differential abundance testing 📊✏️ #microbiome #biostats

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

Just wrapped up my PhD interview at Weill Cornell Medicine! 🏥 Now for a quick lunch break 🥪 before diving back into MicrobiomeStat dev 👩‍💻 #PhDlife #bioinformatics

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

@Guts_and_Gore Thank you so much for your kind words! I am thrilled to hear that you find ggpicrust2 useful. Your support means a lot!

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

🎉 Exciting news! My manuscript on "ggpicrust2: an R package for PICRUSt2 predicted functional profile analysis and visualization" got accepted in Bioinformatics! Thanks to Prof. Arne Elofsson and the team! #Research #Publication #Bioinformatics #ggpicrust2

@mslaylap I can relate! If Apple introduced waterproof versions or partnered with water-resistant technology experts, it would be a huge hit. Imagine enjoying your favorite tunes stress-free in the shower! 🚿🎶 #WaterproofAirPods

@cckeneally Moving forward, I'll be more cautious. Thanks for your understanding and insight. Your feedback helps us improve. #Rstats #dplyr #bugfix #userfeedback

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

Regretfully, a recent update to my package introduced several bugs. The root of the issue was a conflict between `plyr` and our main dependency `dplyr`. Both have many functions with the same names but with different or even opposite uses. #Rstats #dplyr #bugalert

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

@cckeneally I used `plyr` syntax for a same-named function, thinking my memory was wrong. It was a misstep, and I've learned my lesson. #Rstats #dplyr #bugfix

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

@cckeneally In my case, `plyr` wasn't initially in my environment, so I took some shortcuts. Then, `plyr` was needed for a tutorial, which led to the mix-up. #Rstats #dplyr #bugfix

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

@cckeneally Absolutely, using `dplyr::` to call functions is a proven practice to avoid conflicts. The issue you're describing is common. #Rstats #dplyr #bugfix

[Chen YANG @CafferyYang]

I sincerely apologize to all users affected. The issues have been addressed and fixed. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any further problems. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated. 🙏 #Rstats #bugfix #userfeedback
