Earlier this summer, I got to share about teaching statistics with #Positron at eCOTS 2026! 💫 The video is now available to watch, and I think it was a great opportunity to reflect on how the tools we build can either support student discovery or shut it down. www.causeweb.org/cause/ecots/...

Exhibitor Demo | Teaching with Positron, a next-generation IDE for statistical computing
The best moments in a statistics classroom come from discovery, when a student wrestles a messy dataset into shape, sees a pattern emerge in a plot, and genuinely wonders why. In a world increasingly shaped by AI, the tools we put in front of students can either crowd out those moments or make room for them. Positron is a next generation data science IDE from Posit, the creators of RStudio, Quarto, Shiny, and the tidyverse. It offers first-class interactive support for both Python and R and is built to keep students close to their data.

I'm falling a little short of my fundraising goal and would really REALLY appreciated any financial love you can provide to support The Marfan Foundation. Any amount you can donate would mean the world to me, and would make a big difference for those families impacted by Marfan Syndrome.

I've just tried Posit Assistant on the free plan and must say, I'm impressed. Using the super-cheap Gemma 4 26B model (10% cost of Sonnet) on free plan it worked instantly. Hats of to the #posit team for integrating this into RStudio and allowing people to test with free plan!

After a stellar Posit internal work week, I'm feeling inspired to get back on Bluesky! My first question - Posit is trying to figure out what to do with this website: education.rstudio.com It's older and hasn't been maintained, but it is still very valuable.
education.rstudio.com

RStudio Education helps people achieve data literacy using the R language, tools, and content.

This is a fun data science exercise: Can you make a plot/table look truly awful? During a call with a customer, where we used AI features in #positron, someone created this beauty!

Sharing some virtual meeting etiquette - don't call out people for "being quiet" on a call. Speaking is not the only way to engage in meetings. Don't underestimate the power of listening.

I've been working on a Quarto blog to showcase my training videos—it's not really a blog but more like a "content organizer." The default blog styles didn't quite work for me, so I dabbled with custom listings in Quarto. I've never used ejs before, but wowsers is it cool! quarto.org/docs/website...
