  2. Excited today that my InfoWorld "Do More With R" series was named a Jesse H. Neal Award finalist for Best Instructional Content!

    I'll be competing with colleagues at Computerworld as well as 2 others for this 😀

  4. @camartinezbu @MikeMahoney218 I've used R a lot more than QGIS, but I find the {mapview} 📦 easier for quick prototyping.You can't get much simpler than

    For a choropleth map!
