TIL that the ubiquitous iris dataset was promoted by a eugenicist (the "Fisher" in "Fisher's Iris dataset", even though it was collected by the botanist Edgar Anderson).

A new alternative to this dataset is provided by the palmerpenguins package, now available on CRAN.

Replace you example data tied to a eugenicist with a dataset about cute penguins, which was collected by Kirsten Gorman, and packaged by three women.
