We are the Philadelphia chapter of R-Ladies Global, a world-wide organization that promotes gender diversity in the R community and in data science more broadly. While our group name does have ‘R’ and ‘Ladies’ in the title, we welcome all individuals who share our values and follow our code of conduct and who have an interest in data science, regardless of proficiency with R.
Since our first meetup in January 2018, R-Ladies Philly has grown to a highly active, diverse and community-driven group, with:
We are always looking for more ways to grow and for new data approaches to try! Connect with us via the R-Ladies Philly Slack, Email philly@rladies.org or better yet, come to one of our events!
R-Ladies Philly is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to start up the chapter again! This is a wonderful and fulfilling opportunity to grow your network and leadership skills. Please contact philly@rladies.org to learn more. Former organizers have volunteered to mentor a new team.
