Join us for our last R-Ladies #LdnOnt meet up of the season!
This meetup will be all about sitting down with new data! Jaky Kueper will walk us through common practices and procedures for data cleaning and exploration—essentially how to get data into a ‘usable’ form and start looking at what they contain. We will touch on working with multiple datasets (joins) and strategies for when you need to learn more about your data or where they come from. Previous experience with R is not required.
There will be time for the group to skill-share and practice/troubleshoot; if you have new data that you are or will be working with this summer, bring it!
Join us for snacks and drinks at Milos' down the street after the meet up. As always, all are welcome.
Please note that there will be no summer R-Ladies sessions. Stay tuned for more details to come about future sessions.
What is R-Ladies?: A low-key get together for people interested in using and learning more about R, a powerful statistical software program. We meet about once a month to feature different topics and speakers.
When: Thursday, May 30, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Where: London Public Library, Central Branch (251 Dundas, right downtown). We will be in the Lawson Room (formerly the Richmond Room) on the first floor, across from the main library entrance.
Cost: All our meet ups are free, and always will be!

FAQs
Do I need to be an R expert? No! While some familiarity helps, all levels are welcome! If you want to follow along, come with your laptop and have R and RStudio installed.
I already know R, what's in it for me? Awesome! Come join a community of individuals interested in STEM research, meet new pals, learn new skills or sharpen old ones, or talk to us about leading a workshop on a topic you're passionate about!
I don't identify as a lady, but I still want to learn R - can I join? Yes! While we prioritize underrepresented genders in leadership positions (including but not limited to cis/trans women, trans men, non-binary, genderqueer, agender) leadership, our general membership is fully inclusive.

I'm interested in leading a workshop! How to I get in touch? Great! You don't even need to be a full fledged "expert" to lead a workshop... this is a group for skill swapping. If you're interested, send us an email at ldnont@rladies.org.
