Chair: Rowan Green

Talk 1: A Quick Introduction to ggplot2 — speaker Sian Bladon (She/her) — Post Doctoral Research Associate, UoM

A quick overview of the ggplot2 package how to get started with simple plots and how to customise them. I’ll also talk about where you can find more information and useful resources to help you get going.

Talk 2: A Tour of ggplot2 Extensions — speaker Kamilla Kopec-Harding (She/her) — Research Software Engineer, UoM

ggplot2 comes with a useful ecosystem of user written packages that extend its functionality. In this talk, we take a tour of key ggplot2 extensions & how they can be used to solve common data visualization challenges and get things “done done” in R.
