Nicola RennieI had a fabulous time at the RSS conference in Edinburgh this week with lots of excellent talks and time spent catching up with people I don't get to see often enough!
See you next year in Bournemouth?

Great to see so many people diving into open-source tools to share and reuse their work.

If you enjoyed today, join us tomorrow for #RAP in #PublicHealth (11:30, Kilsyth). We'll have analysts from across the UK showing how they use reproducible code in public health.

I really enjoyed giving a brief introduction to Julia for statisticians yesterday - thanks to Jake Grainger and Charles Dufour for organising such a great session!
Who's heading to #rss2025conf next week? It's my first time and I'm quite excited!
At RSS conference next week, I'll be talking in the 'Book Publication as a Scholarly Activity for Statisticians' session @ 11.30 on Thurs 4 Sept - which I'm really looking forward to!
Some of the things I'll be talking about include:
📖 Writing about #RStats with #QuartoPub
✍️ Working with Lara at CRC Press
📊 How it all started with some #TidyTuesday charts!
(Very subtle announcement that there's a #DataViz book from me coming soon!)
