Join our workshop on Effective Visual Communication with R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 


Here’s some more info: 

Title: Effective Visual Communication with R

Date: Thursday, June 20th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) 

Speaker: Claus Wilke is a data scientist and computational biologist at The University of Texas at Austin. He is known for his work on popular R packages for data visualization, such as cowplot, ggridges, and ggtext, as well as his contributions to the package ggplot2. He is also the author of the book Fundamentals of Data Visualization, published in 2019, which provides a concise introduction to effectively visualizing many different types of data sets.

Description: In the first half of this workshop, Wilke will provide a high-level perspective on how to make good visualizations and how to use them effectively to communicate and reason about data. The second half will be more hands-on and will address how to use R to make interactive plots, deal with overplotting, and make compound figures.
