A Visual Tour of the Meta-Tidyverse

For years, I’ve been trying out different non-tidyverse implementations of tidyverse. It’s fun seeing folks mold languages to run analysis code inspired by it.

If you like screenshots of code, come along for a visual tour.

Let’s start w/ R.

This is a really insightful look into how an ML startup screens resumes (including how/why it differs from big tech).

[Chip Huyen @chipro]

Resume screening is pretty much a black box for most candidates. Few hiring managers have publicly discussed this.

Whether you're interested in our startup, I hope my perspective can shed some light on what is happening on the other side of the table.

#RStats PSA: haven't tested this out myself yet, but `message = FALSE` should now completely suppress messages in R code chunks (no more using suppressPackageStartupMessages!)

@BenSchleuss yes you're right, the x-axis directions are reversed! I probably didn't think too much of it when I was making the plots but I agree it would be more intuitive if the x-axis directions were consistent

Since my I got PhD in Biostatistics in 2020, I've worked on clinical trials design, as a postdoc, and now at as a pre-clinical statistican. A long🧵on my thoughts about the post-PhD job search, and why I don't like the academia vs industry dichotomy:

@stephaniehicks @jhubiostat @JHUDataScience @JohnsHopkinsSPH Congratulations Stephanie!! 🎉🎉

[Colin Angus @VictimOfMaths]

I posted this graph yesterday as part of the #30DayChartChallenge and a few people have asked some reasonable questions about why I chose to present this data in this way.

So I thought I'd write a thread to explain my thought process...

Dear Keynote, please stop autocorrecting "exonic" reads to "exotic" reads on my presentation slides..

Had some fun ~animating~ my {postcards} website today. Inspired by this wonderful post from @CL_Rothschild: https://t.co/8cJ3Tl3p9t

@eugeneyan Thanks for sharing! Reminds me of another great blog post I read a few years ago on "red flags" by @robinson_es (https://t.co/wj6Z8Pbv6s)

I also updated my website yesterday with the R package postcards https://t.co/nlnoJ1O1h1! Thanks @seankross!!

[Hadley Wickham @hadleywickham]

'tis the season to be updating websites so https://t.co/4mIJiPbnGt gets a refresh thanks to @seankross's wonderful postcard package https://t.co/p1urdYeeKq

Looking for a #postdoc in Genomic #DataScience? Would love to talk to you about opportunities @jhubiostat in my group!

[Albert Kuo @albert_kuo]

@simonpcouch This was so good, Simon!

[Albert Kuo @albert_kuo]

Presenting at #ENAR2021 next Monday! I will talk about the statistical modeling of single-nucleus RNA-seq data.

Details of my talk at: https://t.co/EgNEoKMFZp

[Albert Kuo @albert_kuo]

@simonpcouch @jhubiostat Welcome to the department! Happy to chat as well if you have questions.

[Emily Riederer @EmilyRiederer]

Too many broadly useful stats methods are masked in domain-specific language. In my new pair of posts, I discuss formula-free #causalinference design patterns to help data analysts recognize frameworks as they encounter them in everyday work
