What’s New in R: June 17, 2024
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring an article on the value of using R, a tutorial on writing your own functions, and a blog post showing how to get R to send texts on your behalf. Let’s dive in!

This article, written by Alberto Espinoza, talks about the value of using R in the context of evaluation. But it’s a useful read, even if you work in a very different industry. Alberto talks about being able to reuse code to make his work more efficient and many other benefits of using R.

The United States Geological Survey puts out some great R content. In this new article, authors Elise Hinman and Anthony Martinez give an intro to creating your own functions. If you’ve never made your own functions, it’s a great way to get started!

Brenden Smith has written a tutorial showing how he got R to send texts for him. If you’ve got a long-running script and you want to know when it’s done running, why not send yourself a text? This tutorial could show you how!
