Opportunity: R professional for CU Boulder Guest Lecture

Got R skills? I need you! I'm teaching a Data Vis course for CU Boulder's Master of Environment program this fall, and I'll be honest—my R skills are bare bones, but I believe students should be familiar with it. So I'm reaching out to see if anyone would be up for guest lecturing in one class session this October or November.

 Here are the details:

• Time: Class is 2.5-hours (3:30 - 6pm on Wednesdays) and you can take either 1 or 2 hours, up to you!
• Date/location: In-Person in Boulder, potential dates: October 15, 22, 29, or Nov 5th - depending on your availability.
• Content: Short refresher on RStudio and R language syntax, overview of data vis libraries (ggplot2, tidyverse, ploty, etc..) with focus on graphic adjustments, and Demo with environmental data.
• Bonus: Presentation of real-life example of using R in the workplace for an environmental data problem.
• Keep it friendly; students are not on a data science track. 
• Small stipend available.

What's in it for you? You get to share your R wisdom with eager grad students and dip your toes into university teaching if you are curious about it. Plus, you'd be helping out a fellow data lover who's trying not to embarrass themselves in front of their class.

Sounds interesting? Ping me at Kasey...@colorado.edu and we can chat.
