Testimonials
Don't Take it From Us
Our learners say it best.
“I've been dipping my toes in the R water for many years, your site and approach has been the most accessible and useful by far!
“Your spring class was amazing!! Well worth taking. Highly recommend.
“This was an excellent use of time to get started in R. It takes less than an afternoon and I made a lot of progress in using R that I hadn't been able to do before. It was very clear - key words were defined - I didn't feel like I was struggling with jargon - highly recommend for those starting from zero with R.
“A great intro with simple explanations to get someone starting out in R engaged on the topic.
“It was really great and helpful, thank you very much!
“Very good explanations in an entertaining way, I really enjoyed the course
“When I started Colibri Consulting I knew I would need to up my game on data analysis and visualization, and I knew that meant learning R. Finding the R in 3 Months course was a fantastic way to start that journey. I love that you can customize every chart down to the smallest detail in RStudio and build reports interlaced with beautiful graphics.
“As I had never used R before, this course helped me learn the basics of R and the different methodologies for data visualization and coming up with errors.
“There's certainly a lot to learn! I am interested in learning more, but this is a helpful crash course.
“Before the course, I could kind of read R code, and I could put patches together and I would Google stuff, copy and paste and hope it worked. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. Now after the course, I'm much more R literate and much more confident.

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. Pop open ChatGPT in a browser and ask it R questions the same way you'd ask anything else. It works, but you end up bouncing back and forth between the...
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...
[Livestream Recording] How to Make High-Quality PDFs with Quarto and Typst
November 20, 2025

In the livestream we covered several topics, including: Making complex elements that we used in the state-level immunization reports we recently created for the Johns Hopkins University International Vaccine Access Center. Taking a Typst template and...
