R Working Group

Welcome to the R Working Group!

We’re excited to announce that the R Working Group is back in action for the 2023 Fall semester, and we’re delighted to have you join us! Whether you’re a beginner eager to learn R or an experienced enthusiast looking to share your insights, you’ve come to the right place.

The R Working Group is the R community at WSU. It serves as a peer-to-peer learning network for students and faculty members to exchange R knowledge, techniques, and troubleshooting through our weekly meetings and workshops. Each week, we cover a different R topic suitable for various skill levels, and you can find demo codes on our blog.

Our weekly meetings will be held every Tuesday from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, taking place at the Plant Science Building 405 and also accessible via Zoom. To receive Zoom links and updates, please subscribe to our email list. For access to session recordings or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Meijing Liang, our current Head Moderator, at meijing.liang@wsu.edu.

We look forward to a productive and engaging Fall semester with you!
