What’s your #rstats #ROrigin story? I started my PhD in 2011 and initially was using Excel macros 😱 to perform optimal genetic combination selection, taking over all the office PCs at night for pseudo parallel processing. Within a few months I attended an internal 1day quantitative breeding course which used R. I was immediately hooked 🤩 everything felt so natural and I rewrote all my analyses the next day in R. 2years later I successfully submitted my first pkg to CRAN, & the rest is history 🥳
