How does a top pharmaceutical company adopt R and open source across its entire organization? RSVP to learn how GSK did it: https://lnkd.in/ghSF4Cgy On November 7th at 12:00 PM ET, the GSK team will share their inspiring journey towards company-wide adoption of R, moving from initial pilots to setting large-scale adoption goals. Watch them share how they overcame challenges in shifting to end-to-end use of R, evolved their training programs to upskill teams more effectively, and continue their ongoing mission to contribute back to the open-source community. Stay afterward to ask your questions with your peers live during the Q&A session with the team at GSK. See you there!

Interested in learning more about Quarto and how it differs from R Markdown? In this video by christophe DERVIEUX, you can learn all about Quarto and its multi-language workflow. He walks through how to use Quarto in various IDEs (RStudio, JupyterLab, VS Code), and its syntax. The video can also help answer questions like: Why switch to Quarto from R Markdown? In which cases? How does Quarto integrate with existing workflows? Hopefully, the video will inspire you to try out Quarto today! https://lnkd.in/gJaguxGe

Great Tables v0.13.0 is out! The python package that helps you make beautiful data display tables is now even greater. Richard Iannone & Michael Chow write: Now you can fully, and precisely, style your table with the `tab_style()` method with the enhanced location (`loc`) targeting options. This augmentation of the `loc` module to include all locations in the table means that there won’t be a spot in the table to which you can’t add styling. This is terrific because it gives you free rein to fully customize the look of your table. Learn more on the Great Tables blog: https://lnkd.in/gx2Z4F_j #greattables #pydata #python #posit

We’re thrilled to share that Hadley Wickham, Chief Scientist at Posit, has been honored with the 2025 ASA Statistical Computing and Graphics Award by the American Statistical Association - ASA. This prestigious award highlights Hadley’s significant contributions to the field, particularly his development of open-source tools. Hadley’s work on tidyverse packages like dplyr and ggplot2, as well as package development tools like roxygen2, have transformed how people approach statistical computing, visualization, graphics, and data analysis. His dedication to building accessible, powerful tools reflects our mission here at Posit: making knowledge creation and consumption easier for everyone. At Posit, we believe open-source software drives innovation. Hadley’s continued work exemplifies that belief, showing up in classrooms, businesses, and research organizations worldwide. This award, to be presented at the 2025 Joint Statistical Meetings in Nashville, Tennessee, is a testament to his lasting impact. Congratulations, Hadley, on this well-deserved honor!

🔄 Run machine learning predictions directly in your database with tidymodels and orbital! At posit::conf(2024), we introduced the orbital package, allowing you to seamlessly translate tidymodels workflows into SQL backends. By leveraging the speed and power of your database, like Snowflake, you can perform faster, scalable predictions without needing R dependencies. In our latest blog, we walk through how to: → Connect to Snowflake using Posit Workbench on Snowpark Container Services (SPCS) → Train a model on 2,000 rows of the lendingclub dataset → Use orbital to convert the model into Snowflake SQL for fast, in-database inference → Automatically update your workflows by scheduling retraining in Posit Connect Read the full walkthrough → https://lnkd.in/gWhtfdNb

The Shiny Contest winners are out! https://lnkd.in/gpWDWwEZ All of these are Shiny apps. Every one comes with a repository reproducing their apps. Each is created by the community, for the community, to show off what these developers can do with Shiny and open source data science. Overall Winner: Curbcut by David Wachsmuth & Maxime Bélanger de Blois Winner: Shiny for Python and Newcomer Prizes: signature .py by Arthur Bréant Runners-Up: - Oh My Bag – The Heist of the Century by miskowski85 - Borders by Evan Brand - Pomodoro Timer by Agustin Pérez Santangelo and Angel Escalante - stoRytime with Shiny by Umair Durrani - California Schools Climate Hazards Dashboard by Hazel Vaquero, Charlie Curtin, Liane Chen, Kristina Glass Congrats!! Joe Cheng writes: > Organizing a contest like this can be nerve-racking—will people participate, and if they do, will the quality match our hopes? On the Shiny team, we primarily interact with developers through GitHub issues and ad-hoc interactions. Despite our best efforts to serve the Shiny community, it can sometimes feel distant. > But this contest has been a powerful reminder of just how talented and dedicated this community is. The submissions we received reflect literally thousands of hours of hard work and creativity. They demonstrate mastery of data science, user-interface design, and specific scientific domains. I’m incredibly grateful for everyone’s participation, and I couldn’t be more proud of the community and ecosystem of tools we’ve all built together.
