Details
Creating a data science portfolio can help you to develop your skills, and well as showcase them to the wider world. However, getting started on making your portfolio can feel like a huge task. In this talk, Dr. Nicola Rennie discusses how to use #TidyTuesday to gradually build an R portfolio.

We'll run through an example of a #TidyTuesday contribution, including:

downloading data
initial data exploration
creating and styling your plots
sharing your data visualisations and code
.....and just like that, you have a portfolio!
