These are one of my favourite things to build. Putting the finishing touches on one, which includes interactive tables and bespoke quarto slides, and I have two more lined up between now and the end of November. Get in touch if your want your own! Room for 1 more this year!

Really looking forward to this one! I'll be sharing a bit about some recent projects I've been working on, and how I ended up doing what I do. If you're in the area, I'd love a chance to say hi in person!

Inspired by a post shared by Cara Thompson, this example is a good reminder that there are always multiple solutions for any one #rstats problem.🌟 If you are curious about how dplyr::filter() evaluates NAs, you can read more here: github.com/Cghlewis/data-…

This remains my favourite example of a good timeline plot. Used it as an example in a training session last week, with credit. Two parallel stories (the cases count, the event dates), hierarchy in points and annotations... Thanks again for creating and sharing it Dr Christian Hoggard !
