Quotes of the Week

Big thank you to the whole @_useRconf team for a great #useR2021!

I remember when the Zurich team had to decide whether to go hybrid (ie w/ 2 "classes" of participants) or fully online to turn it into the most international, diverse, and inclusive useR! ever.

And WOW they did! pic.twitter.com/Ws5Dynlsse

#rstats @_useRconf #a11y the people here carefully followed the conference’s accessibility guidelines for their slides. Many of them were using rmarkdown/Xaringan for the first time!
Please do use their work as examples when you try to improve your presentations! https://t.co/MxJ8Wvmk6w
