University of California San Francisco Give to UCSF

How do you typically share results from data analysis you've conducted in R? Copying and pasting results into documents or slide decks can be tedious, particularly because the data and analytic decisions may often be changing, necessitating seemingly endless repetition of the copy-and-paste process. This workflow is not just tiring; it is also prone to human error. It is easy, for example, to lose track of whether a document or slide deck reflects the most recent changes to data analysis.

In this workshop, we'll introduce Quarto, a popular tool for writing documents and slide decks. Quarto allows you to include R code within documents, so that you don't need to copy and paste results.

The session will include short presentations, interspersed with hands-on exercises. We encourage you to bring your own projects so you can practice using Quarto to summarize your own work during the hands-on exercises!

This session does assume some familiarity with R. However, we aim to be accessible, and try to minimize assumptions about your experience with R!

UCSF welcomes all participants to our events. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this event because of a disability, please contact Yea-Hung Chen (yea-Hung.chen@ucsf.edu) as soon as possible.
