What is Tidy Tuesdays?
Tidy Tuesdays is a weekly social data project in R. Every week they post a data set and invite you to explore the data and then visualise it.
Where is the official site?
The TidyTuesday github repository lives here: https://github.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/
You can use the tidytuesdayR package to get easy access to each weeks data: https://thebioengineer.github.io/tidytuesdayR/
Why have I decided to participate?
I first heard of Tidy Tuesdays earlier this week. After a little research, I decided that I will participate. When I produce some visualisations, I will post them to this website.
1. I have been inspired by the creativity of others
My mind was blown away when I looked at some of the visualisation produced by the Tidy Tuesday community. I want to be share in that creativity.
2. Practice
I know that to get better that I need to practice. One of the barriers to regular meaningful practice is having an interesting project to work on and like minded people to practice with and share your work with. TidyTuesdays gives me this!
