Floss For Science

In episode 23, we interviewed Dan Quintana from the University of Oslo. We started the discussion with him by asking the link between all his subjects of interest and where R fits into his workflow. We then had an extensive discussion about R including his must have R packages and the synthpop package for generating synthetic datasets. We then widened the discussion and talked about the multiple facets of open science and reproducibility. Dan then talked about what he sees as one of the next big challenge of science. We finished the interview with our usual quick questions. 00:00:18 Introduction 00:00:39 Presentation of Dan Quintana 00:01:55 The links between his research interests 00:04:00 Where does R fits in his workflow 00:05:22 His 30 seconds elevator pitch for R 00:06:28 How difficult is it to switch from SPSS to R? 00:08:05 The best time to switch to R 00:08:40 JASP and Jamovi as a gateway to R 00:10:53 Standing on the shoulders of giants with R 00:12:15 R or Python? 00:14:00 Dan's must have R packag
