Plotting like a Pro: Data Visualization with R / ggplot2 (7.22.26)
Date and Time
Location
What: In this hands-on workshop we will demonstrate how to create high-quality plots utilizing the ggplot2 R package. The workshop will cover different plot formats as well at many of the key options and theme layers that participants may be interested in applying to create their highly customized plots. We will also cover exporting plots as well as creating functions for a consistent formatting across plots.
Why: Data visualizations with ggplot2 allow you to quickly transform complex datasets into clear, customizable graphics to reveal patterns, trends, and outliers. Its framework makes plots reproducible and consistent, integrates seamlessly with other data workflows, and supports effective communication of insights.
How: This is a free 1 hour hands-on workshop.
Where: Online via Zoom (link provided upon registration).
Who: This seminar is open to all Harvard affiliates from all disciplines, and the public research community.
Prerequisites: A working understanding of R syntax is required in order to get the most out of the workshop.
Instructor: Will Gammerdinger, PhD, Research Associate, Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core
