@kimberlyadams the key is to make a "brandy old fashioned press" which is half club soda and half sprite. I assume you got many call ins about this because we all have strong feelings 😂.
@kimberlyadams Glad you're hanging around on mastadon! I still miss the twitter news community.

This is a truly incredible story about the academics who made the mRNA vaccine technology and the ways that systemic forces kept From Kariko out. We need skeptical but open minds.

I usually give my new #PhD students an Excel document with some initial resources to help them get started with their #research. I’ve finally turned this into a GitHub repo I can share 😊. Available here: https://github.com/Lynsay/PhDStudentResources
GitHub - Lynsay/PhDStudentResources: Resources which may be useful for PhD candidates in computing-based fields.

#quarto gotcha: if you render a .qmd to an .html and then move the .html file (eg. to an LMS for handing in as an assignment), all images *disappear*, including graph output, because they are in image files that are separate from the .html file. Solution: edit the yaml header to read

format:
html:
embed-resources: true

with the right indentation.

@Lynnemargalit Descriptions of each workshop is here: https://posit.co/blog/workshops-at-posit-conf-2023/

All the workshop materials are here: https://github.com/orgs/posit-conf-2023/repositories

Matching each description to the corresponding repo is a little annoying but there aren't too many to click.

Rather than dig through the repos, check the top; most of them have a link to a workshop site!

Specifically, the "UI design for Shiny" one that I loved is here: https://webdesign4shiny.rinterface.com/schedule
