For my birthday my labs WROTE ME AN R PACKAGE that spits out happy birthday messages and makes me guess who each one is from and SHAMES ME when I get them wrong. These people are NERDS and need to be stopped. (They're also so so so nice and I love them.)

My talk about {learnr} for @rstudio conf was accepted.
The best part was sharing the process with the LatAm community. The advice I received improved my proposal.
None of the selected ones got there alone. I don't get there alone.
Thank you!! Gracias, Infinitas gracias. https://t.co/8Co364BPr0
