This one is for all my #rstats StatEd friends:

Do you teach {data.table} in your courses?

The USCOTS submission deadline is coming up, and I would so love to see more of our #rdatatable grant travel funds go towards educators. 💙

It's run by @kellybodwin.bsky.social on behalf of the #rdatatable NSF grant project - read more here:

Look under your tree! 🌲 🎁

There's a major #rstats #rdatatable release waiting!

A tremendous thanks to all involved and especially those contributing to some major (performance-maintaining!!) rewrites around the non-API issue.
