Introduction to R

Online event

It has been two years since Quarto became the most popular reproducible publication tool in data science and the R community. However, Quarto is so much more than just a publication tool! I started using it in late 2022, and it has helped me become more organized, productive and connected with people in the data science community.
In this talk, I will not focus on the technical aspects of 'how' to use this tool. In the first part of the talk, I would like to report the latest news and trends seen in the useR conference and Posit conf, the two biggest global R events. In the second part, I will share my own experience in using Quarto for my career: from learning new skills, collaborating with co-workers, teaching university courses networking and building a community (CAMIS collaboration). It is a powerful tool to share your work, and make new connections - both for work and for fun! I hope this talk will provide you with some new ideas on how to use this fantastic technology to fulfil your goals.

Join us on Tuesday for "Beyond the Classroom: Unspoken Realities of a Data Science Career" - Led by Brandon Sucher. Brandon recently spoke at posit::conf(2024) and we're really excited to have him bring this talk to Boston useR!!

Embarking on a data science career extends well beyond academic knowledge. In many ways, the learning has just begun. Soft skills have become increasingly valuable, with effective collaboration being essential for success. Additionally, there may be moments when advocating for your own work is crucial, turning data scientists into persuasive salespeople for their own insights and contributions. In this talk, I’ll touch on some of the aspects of a data science job that aren’t talked about as frequently, including onboarding successfully, becoming a subject matter expert, and understanding the end-to-end data workflow.

Led by: Brandon Sucher, Biostatistician at Moderna

Agenda:
5pm - Welcome & Pizza (provided by Posit PBC)
5:30 - Presentation & Extended Q&A
6:30 - Close of Meetup

Thank you to Microsoft for sharing their space with us!

Beyond the Classroom: Unspoken Realities of a Data Science Career

Microsoft New England Research and Development Center

Join us for the Season opener at CalgaryR. Are you curious about the language, are you a seasoned data modeller or statistician, or anything in between? This is an excuse to mingle with like-minded people, mentor someone who is just starting, or listen to a talk and share in some lively discussions.

There will be two talks, the first one is called "**It's a feature, not a bug! Coercion, recycling and sub-setting**". We will be digging deep to uncover some of R's superpowers and pillars of the core R syntax for expressive and powerful data manipulation and mathematics.

The second talk is "**Data Science Proof of Concept Design: Applications in Oil and Gas**". Dr. Muir will show the process for managing and executing data science-based Proof of Concept projects in Oil and Gas. This concentrates on the initial understanding of the problem and requirements from the client to develop the analytics, predictive modelling and forecasting. Once defined and architected, solutions pass over to the implementation team.
The impact of the following examples of projects is in the 10s of millions per year. These projects took from 3-8 weeks

* Increased solvent recovery from oil sands tailings, 1st and 2nd stages
* Steam heat allocation in oil sands extraction and processing plant
* Soft sensor design to generate near real-time distillation curves (ASTM D86), octane rating, cloud point, etc., of crude and processed oil
* Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) of unconventional assets: analysis and optimization

We hope this email finds you in high spirits! We are thrilled to invite you to a social event centered around R programming and meeting others in the community.

Mark your calendars for September 26th, from 6 to 8 pm, as we come together to celebrate our shared passion for data analysis, coding, and all things R!

This event will be a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are equally enthusiastic about R programming. Whether you're just starting your journey or are an experienced coder, all skill levels are welcome!

We firmly believe that the strength of our community lies in the diverse perspectives and experiences we bring to the table. All are welcome and we hope to see you soon!
