About the speaker:

Joscelin Rocha-Hidalgo currently works at Penn State as a Postdoctoral Fellow looking at Parent-Child brain activity synchrony and temperament development. Joscelin received her doctoral degree in Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience at Georgetown University, where she focused on children's cognitive development and factors such as bilingualism and media. On June of 2022, Joscelin joined the team of "R for the Rest of Us" as its first intern.

About the workshop:

Cleaning your data can be a tedious and time-consuming task. This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the tidyverse syntax and explore some functions from the dplyr package to turn your data into the format you need. You will learn to select, filter, transform variables, pivot, make some basic descriptive analyses, and more in order to make your data wrangling more efficient.

If you would like an intro to R, you can take advantage of this free course by R for the Rest of Us: rfortherestofus.com/courses/getting-started

This interactive introduction to R workshop will provide you with the necessary skills to get started with data inspection, analysis, and visualization in R.
