<p>Despite the large body of research on missing value distributions and imputation, there is comparatively little literature with a focus on how to make it easy to handle, explore, and impute missing values in data. This paper addresses this gap. The new methodology builds upon tidy data principles, with the goal of integrating missing value handling as a key part of data analysis workflows. We define a new data structure, and a suite of new operations. Together, these provide a connected framework for handling, exploring, and imputing missing values. These methods are available in the R package naniar.</p>
@johnnyryan Dragging this delightful guide to my more mundane profession, there's lots of good advice here for writing lecture slides.
On a good day, the exhibit is me talking and waving my arms, and the slides are side labels that are consulted for clarification, for re-immersion into the topic after spacing out, and for complementary context through citation, equation, or diagram.
The first two uses are primary, but slides do still have to balance them with the standalone curator's third.

Doubtless you've heard that "we all get the same 24 hours in the day." Of course it's not true: rich people and poor people experience very different demands on their time. The richer you are, the more your time is your own - not only are many systems arranged with your convenience in mind, but you also command the social power to do something about systems that abuse your time.

Tell your friends what you like about them. Notice good things about people and point it out to them. It is powerful. Do it regularly.
People don't know what they are good at. You have to tell them.
