Highlights from rstudio::conf(2022)!

I had the pleasure of attending the 2022 R Studio conference last week in Washington D.C. As always, it was filled with incredible workshops taught by highly esteemed instructors, fascinating presentations from R users all over the globe, and of course, great company! Reunited with my good friend and former professor, Dr. Shannon Pileggi. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the highlights from my experience at the conference:

Olympics Shiny App

During summer 2021, I took a data visualization and acquisition course at the University of Kansas as part of the Applied Statistics, Analytics, and Data Science graduate program. The final project of the course was to visualize real world data interactively by creating an R Shiny app. While brainstorming ideas for my Shiny app, I found a historical Olympic Games data set from the Tidy Tuesday weekly data project located in the R for Data Science GitHub repository.
