Are you looking to boost your data manipulation and visualization skills in R? Join us for a hands-on introduction to dplyr and ggplot2, two of the most powerful and popular packages in the tidyverse. Whether you’re new to R or looking to deepen your understanding, this session led by Reiko Okamoto will guide you through the essentials of data wrangling and data visualization. You’ll learn how to effortlessly filter, select, mutate, and summarize your data with dplyr, and then bring your data to life with stunning visualizations using ggplot2. By the end of this talk, you’ll be equipped with versatile skills that extend beyond R, making your data analysis and presentation more efficient, transparent, and impactful. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your data science toolkit!
