We are using it at the moment to create stats problems for an offshoot to our Industrial Problems for the HE Curriculum. I like RStudio, a lot of hard work has gone into it.

We've got a roster of people all across the spectrum of the nebulous umbrella of "data science" - statisticians, economists, data engineers, etc. - whatever our volunteers bring to the table. As a statistician myself, I strive very hard to imbue the organization with a strong understanding of what numbers can and can't say and how to be respectful of the fact that all the data we're looking at often has very real impact on very real people. I'd be more than happy to hear other thoughts or opinions on how to do that better. Thanks for the write-up! Very good concerns!
