W28: Advanced Data Visualization w/ ggplot2

This interactive and hands-on training is tailored for students and researchers eager to delve into the art and science of data visualization. In this workshop, we will journey through the essentials of data wrangling with dplyr, followed by a deep dive into the powerful ggplot2 package (https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/) and its extensions. By the end of the workshop, you will gain practical experience and explore the vast possibilities of data visualization in R. Besides mastering the technical aspects of these tools, attendees will also learn the best practices and key principles for creating efficient and effective visualizations. Participants should have a basic understanding of R programming. Familiarity with basic data structures in R, such as factors, vectors, and data frames, will be beneficial.
