My team is continuing to use the R we learned from you and your team - it's been a game changer for us and we've only scratched the surface on what we know how to do.

I feel like searching the internet for help with R is like looking for a very specific needle across a giant field of haystacks, and you are the metal detectors that get us where we need to be more quickly.

Thank you for a very thorough and practical course about an important and initial task in data handling. In my own project, I am to work with data that are very far from tidy, and I am very grateful for the tools that you have provided me with. I was not aware that we can do so much with the data to make it more ready for statistical analysis.

How to Get Started Using AI with R

May 27, 2026

There are so many ways to use AI with R now that it's genuinely hard to know where to start. Should you just use ChatGPT in a browser tab? Install something into your code editor? And if so, which one? I made a video walking through the main options, with the pros and cons of each. The simplest approach is the one most people start with.

Introducing the {pdfcheck} R package for checking the accessibility of PDFs

February 5, 2026

Are the PDFs you're creating accessible? Can someone using a screen reader navigate them? Is the color contrast sufficient for people who are colorblind? These are questions we've been getting a lot from our consulting clients at Clarity Data Studio. And honestly? When we reviewed our own PDFs, we found there wasn't a really great tool to check accessibility and give us actionable steps to improve. So we decided to build our own. It's called {pdfcheck}, and it's an R package that helps you...

November 20, 2025

Taking a Typst template and...
