Interactive web-based data visualization and analysis tool for synthetizing on-farm research networks data

ISOFAST, an interactive web tool developed using R Shiny, aimed at enhancing communication of on-farm trial results and aiding decision-making by farmers and agronomists through the synthesis of multi-site and multi-year trial data using a random-effects model.

Fun blogdown in R to design a personal website

Inspired by David Robinson‘s keynote talk at the RStudio conference 2019 (summary in the following tweet), I decided to write a post about how I use Yihui‘s fantastic R package blogdown to develop my own personal website. When you’ve written the same code 3 times, write a function When you’ve given the same in-person advice 3 times, write a blog post — David Robinson (@drob) November 9, 2017 Well, there are a lot of useful references to check out.

Fun Leaflet in R with NYC Squirrel Census Data

Anabelle introduced the NYC Squirrel Census data to me today. It also comes from the recommended dataset of #TidyTusday. Both of us adore squirrels 😍. The dataset contains variables which can tell when (Date) and where (longitude X and latitude Y) people saw a squirrel of certain age (Age) and fur color (Primary Fur Color) conducting some activities (Running, Climbing, Chasing, Eating, Foraging or Other Activities). Having some experience working with leaflet in R, I find it very interesting to visualize this data set on an interactive map.
