After 6 year wait, I’m thrilled to have seen #NoTimeToDie #JamesBond007. Rented a tux for the occasion and saw it in imax opening night. Still processing some elements but it’s undoubtedly a beautiful and exciting film.

@calvindyson Really happy for you!

@NoAndNoAgain007 Heavy TND pre-title sequence vibes here!

Why is something as basic as 'seeing function documentation' so difficult in #vscode + Jupyter 😩? In #rstudio it just works!

Theodore TOO is about to embark on a journey to his new home in #Hamilton and GSTS is here to make sure he gets there safe!

Clouds are clear in Halifax and Theodore is safe to go.

Safe travels Theodore TOO. 😀

Follow @TheodoreTugboat's journey with @GSTS_Info.

We've been working on a higher level API for #rstats torch. It's still in very early stage of development but it would nice to get feedback
from early users. Check our getting started vignette here: https://t.co/jbgXlMzj1y and the examples gallery: https://t.co/plVQFToCkm

I tried my hand at deep learning with #torch for #RStats and wrote a blog post about it:

Using torch to classify star types 🌟

@d_olivaw @LisaDeBruine Was also looking for a function that does exactly this some time ago.

I finally gave my personal website a much needed refresh and a fun new name! Switching Hugo themes with #blogdown much less hassle than I’d imagined. Open to suggestions on how to spice it up a bit more.

Passed my PhD Defence (no revisions)! I have so many to thank for this experience - @DrAndreaHoward and @MarinaMilyav for sitting on my committee from the beginning. And of course, @rjcoplan for EVERYTHING!

[Will Hipson @whipson3]

Great career opportunities using #rstats with an amazing team!

Big news! MSVU is the first University in Atlantic Canada to launch a tuition waiver program specifically for former youth in care. The MSVU Post-Care Tuition Waiver Program will cover 100% of participating students’ tuition & compulsory fees: https://t.co/4LoN9rY1dz #ThisIsMSVU

It’s 1981 and you need to make a pie chart/coloured bar chart combo. #dataviz

[Randy Olson @randal_olson]

Cool! Someone wrote a script that builds the face of an animal based on the population of the species. Each dot represents one animal, and as the populations increase or decrease the image will either become more discernible or disappear completely. #dataviz

[Will Hipson @whipson3]

Just discovered the tidybayes package from @mjskay. spread_draws and gather_draws are game-changers for me. I like using @mcmc_stan for the modeling side, but #tidyverse for the data wrangling/viz side. So this saves a lot of typing ⌨️😄 #rstats

[Will Hipson @whipson3]

@PritchardPsych @GSTS_Info Thanks Tyler! We’re really happy to be coming back.

[Will Hipson @whipson3]

Been holding off on this announcement for awhile, but I’m ready to share that in a few months I’ll officially be a data scientist at @GSTS_Info! While I’m a bit sad to part ways with academia, I’m thrilled to return to my hometown to work in an innovative field 😁🥳
