Wrangling and visualizing temporal data presents unique challenges to data analysists. This 1-hour workshop addresses the key tasks involved in exploration of time-series and walks the participants through an applied example of obtaining COVID-19 mortality data from a live source (https://opendata.ecdc.europa.eu/covid19), computing relative timelines and various temporal metrics for individual countries, and designing information displays for understanding global trends. Data and scripts are provided. Software requirements: R, RStudio, and tidyverse packages.
