R for the Rest of Us Podcast Episode 15: Nicola Rennie

In this episode, I talk with Nicola Rennie about making data viz for mobile devices. Nicola is a lecturer in health data science based within the Center for Health Informatics, Computing, and Statistics at Lancaster University in the UK.

She recounts her initial encounter with R and how she got deeper into data visualization in R as a means of creative expression. Amidst the plethora of programming languages available, Nicola sheds light on why she chose R specifically for data visualization. Additionally, she offers valuable advice for people wanting to get started with data visualization using R.

Connect with Nicola on her website, X, LinkedIn, Mastodon, and ORCID.
