πŸŽ‰ Big news! After 5+ years of consulting work under the R for the Rest of Us name, I'm launching Clarity Data Studio.

The name confusion was real – people thought we only did courses, not knowing about our consulting work building reports, websites, and more.

With our R in 3 Months program, we give out multiple scholarships. However, some recipients barely participate at all. This is frustrating because we pass over other recipients who likely would participate further. Any ideas for how we can ensure that scholarship recipients actively participate?

Just donated over $2,000 to the @nilc.org as part of our Black Friday fundraiser for @rfortherestofus.com. Thanks to everyone who bought courses!

AI note takers do many things well. Irony is not one of them.

Do I even want to know why @hadley.nz?

Oh man, wish I had a solution for that problem. In this case, we were actually just implementing the template that the client provided in Canva so there was very little back and forth.

I appreciate that!

I'm actually going to record an additional lesson showing this exact thing. Let me know if there's anything in particular you figured out that would be useful to share.
October 28, 2025 at 2:46 AM
It does!

Yes, that's exactly what the blog post I'm writing is covering! Have you created a Typst template yourself?

I'm writing a blog post on making high-quality reports with Quarto and Typst like the ones we recently made for the Johns Hopkins University International Vaccine Access Center.

Running a business, you get some weird marketing pitches. Today's might be the weirdest: putting R for the Rest of Us on the side of a Nascar race race. I appreciate the sentiment, but not sure it's the best way for me to reach customers!
