What we’re about
Welcome to the Nebraska R Users Group! This group is for anyone in Nebraska who is interested in using R for statistics, data visualization, machine learning, and more. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced R user, this group is a great opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, share resources and tips, and collaborate on projects. Join us for regular meetups, workshops, and discussions to deepen your R programming skills and explore new possibilities in data analysis. Let's come together to learn, grow, and advance our data science journey with R!

Failing upward with R: Challenges faced and hard truths learned by a small but scrappy data team on their journey to have an impact
With the constant evolution of data science tools and the rapid rise in AI, it's sometimes beneficial--and at times refreshing--to step back and explore how the tools we use, and the ways we work, can have an impact.
So let's step back, revisit some basics, and talk about the fun stuff: workflows, data pipelines, project management, and--most importantly--people.
This talk's aim is to provide an overview of how we--a small but scrappy data team at a public media organization--leverage R and other open source tools to elevate our work and amplify our impact.
Besides hearing about some hard-earned wisdom from utilizing R in industry, you'll get the following by attending this presentation:- Be introduced to workflows our team uses to stay RAD: Reproducible, Automated, and Documented.
- Observe how our team utilizes R and other open-source tools to find efficiencies and have a bigger impact.
- Commiserate as a community over the hard truths a small data team faces when trying to leverage these tools.
- Be convinced of the impact internal R packages can have on your team's work.
- Discover how tools like Quarto can make your team more human and your communication more effective.
And hey--you might even have a little fun, too! Stay tuned, and whatever you do ... don't touch that dial.
This meeting will be held in the Center for Brain, Biology & Behavior (CB3)
on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln city campus. The entrance to CB3 is in the southeast corner of Memorial Stadium between gates 22 and 23. Enter the doors with the NCB3 sign above it, and proceed to the reception where signs will guide you to the meeting room. Public parking is available in the Stadium Drive Parking Garage.In person guests can join us at 3:15pm for snacks. The talk will start at 3:30pm.
