R is free, open-source software for working with, analyzing, and visualizing data. Data visualization is an activity that attracts many new users to R, and with good reason. In this online, 1.5-hour workshop, we’ll investigate the ggplot2 package, first making sense of the conceptual “grammar of graphics” and then applying it hands-on with a variety of plots, such as scatter plots, histograms, and bar charts. For hands-on participation, we recommend prior exposure to R and RStudio (e.g., our Getting Started with R and RStudio workshop).
