I had the great privilege of presenting the 𝒈𝒈𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒎 package at this year's R/Medicine conference. 𝒈𝒈𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒎 makes it easy to create swimmer plots for treatment timeline visualization and works with existing 𝒈𝒈𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒕2 frameworks. 📽️ 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbgN...

A scatterplot of the gapminder dataset, showing GDP per capita on the x-axis and life expectancy on the y-axis. The points are sized by population, which has a legend with overlapping circles.

A correlation heatmap of the mtcars dataset. Car names on the left are decorated with a dendrogram. The bottom cells also have a dendrogram, whereas the labels are on the top.

This is quietly one of the more worrying/bearish things I've read about generative AI. They're running out of data. They're getting more expensive but not much better and not really anymore powerful. It's like I warned you!

Anyone have experience getting FontAwesome to play nicely with innate ggplot2? I know there’s some ways with ggtext HTML but curious if there’s a way to integrate the package {fontawesome}
