Thanks to @robinlovelace and Adrian Hordyk for two PRs to #rstats 📦 rbbt! You can now update the bibliography file for a .Rmd using an addin (or `bbt_update_bib()`), which yields a pretty slick workflow for Zotero + RMarkdown!

Thanks @JayCeeBeer for these awesome custom @Penn_SIVE magnets! My boring desk got a much needed glow up after I attached them to my drawer. I may be an alum 🦖 but the amazing group 📸🎞🧠 at Penn still makes me feel welcome, included, and supported!

I am so thankful for the women who came before me, who paved the way. I would not be where I am without women like Jocelyn Bell Burnell. #WomenInSTEM @nytimes @bgproudfoot

"Doctors treat patients, statisticians treat populations."

Had this quote sent to me by a colleague today and I really like it. Enjoy.

Every time I make a plot with ggplot2 I have to Google the syntax. No matter how many times I make a plot it never sticks.

Just watched the first female African-American Asian-American Vice President be sworn in with my nieces. I can’t help but feel that glass ceiling cracking.

I wonder what proportion of time per year I spend doing useless poorly curated trainings 🤔?

[Ali Valcarcel @AliValcarcel]

I participated in an allyship workshop today and this quote by Maya Angelou really resonated with me. “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

[Ali Valcarcel @AliValcarcel]

So accurate ..

@SarahBiostats @Penn_SIVE Definitely Steve's or Jim's of the mainstream places.

My new work Mac has the scissor-switch keyboard. I can finally eat next to my computer in peace again. I no longer have to worry about key jams.

@StrictlyStat When I started at Penn as a grad student they gave us a little something extra in our first paycheck. They didn’t request receipts so it was kind of like a signing bonus but the intention was to cover moving costs.

[Ali Valcarcel @AliValcarcel]

This beyond accurately describes the joy and pain of coding ...
