Quotes of the Week

messy, realistic datasets are **extremely** useful for learning, teaching, exploring, and practicing your #rstats skills. so where do you find datasets like this?!

here are some practical tips you can use to find messy datasets! 🧵

— We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies) July 21, 2022

Today's #rstats function I really should have tried before now: purrr::walk()

I love a good "for" loop, because it's very readable, but walk() is more succinct *and* very readable - arguably more so!

Say hi to the Penguins with me 👋🐧🐧🐧
