One last topic before I wrap things up: challenges as practice. #TidyTuesday, #30DayChartChallenge and #30DayMapChallenge are all examples. They give you a prompt and a reason to make something when nobody is assigning you work. It's the perfect way to try something new. 🧵 #rladies

Conferences are a great place to find community and meet people who have similar challenges as you. One of the best ways to network at conferences is to give a talk. If you are new to presenting this can feel really intimidating. Does anyone have some go to advice for new presenters? #rladies

Last year's sessions are on YouTube. Here are three talks from #positconf 2025 that really resonated with me. Please share your favorites, too. #rladies

#positconf wrapped up last week in Houston. I couldn't attend this year, but I went in 2025. It was such a great experience! For those who attended this year: what are your biggest highlights? What should we look forward to when the talks are posted on YouTube? #rladies

This is the first #TidyTuesday I've done in a while. It can feel impossible to carve out the time to make something that is just okay, when other people are making #dataviz that is really beautiful. What's stopping you from participating? And how do you get past it? #rladies

Not near Albany? There are RLadies+ chapters all over the world: rladies.org/chapters/ Is there one near you? #rladies
