<p>Hi back again,<br/>Ready for the meetup of May? For the meetup of the month, we will have a workshop on how to use RMarkdown "How to communicate your results with Rmarkdown &amp; knitr".<br/>Our amazing speaker this time is "Otho Mantegazza".<br/>Otho is going to show us how to communicate &amp; present final results in an engaged way to our audience.<br/>Our audience can be our team, non-techinical people or even creating an archive for ourselves just remember what were doing in six months from now.<br/>Enabling this R has two powerful packages to utilize: markdown and knitr. These two packages are helping us to knit together R code &amp; markdown text together super easy.<br/>These packages run R code, style text and show the results in a single output. In this way we can produce elegant and reproducible reports.<br/>Since markdown is native to HTML, its integration in R works best with html outputs, in addition we can use other packages to produce other HTML outputs such as slides, books or a blog.<br/>In this workshop Otho will show us how to use those tools and what we can achieve with them, with practical exercises and examples from his work in the field of biology and genomics.<br/>Level: beginner<br/>Be sure that you have installed the packages Rmarkdown and knitr.<br/>install.packages(c("rmarkdown", "knitr"))<br/>Additional packages that you might want to try:<br/>install.packages(c("revealjs","bookdown","blogdown","leaflet","r2d3"))<br/>Please find more info in his github: <a href="https://github.com/othomantegazza/talk-rladies" class="linkified">https://github.com/othomantegazza/talk-rladies</a><br/>Otho, is a biologist &amp; a freelancer data scientist. He did his last Postdoc at IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) and his Phd in Biology @ university of Milan. He has learned R during his PhD while producing extensive datasets in his research as he wanted to analyze them autonomously. Later, R has been fundamental in his two postdocs, where he used it on a daily basis to explore and model genomic data. First at HHU/CEPLAS, in Duesseldorf, where he used it to find targets to improve photosynthesis in crops, later at IRD, in Montpellier, where he used it to explore the genetics of Asian and African rice.</p>
