What we’ll do
Join us as we work through the first section of R for Data Science in small groups. This is a great way for both new and experienced users to become more familiar with R.
All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests. This group was created so those who identify as women have a comfortable place to learn. If you would like to attend and feel excluded, please introduce yourself to an organizer.

Crystal Nguyen will introduce you to the professional typesetting system LaTeX.
After briefly telling her own post-PhD story, Dr. Chambers will unmask the real PhD career pipeline and reveal contrasting notions of “results” inside and outside the academy. Then she will lead attendees in a well-organized sequence of hands-on activities in which they will identify their own most valuable accomplishments from this new perspective and learn how to describe them in language that will resonate with non-academic employers.
Facilitator: Dr. Paula Chambers, founder and CEO of VersatilePhD
