From brewery brick reveals to charity bike rides, this month has been all about community connections. I'm sharing updates on my custom brick at a local brewery, CT Challenge fundraising ride, and the exciting conservation analytics project I'm mentoring. Plus, there are still free hex stickers up for grabs!

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology announced the release of AviList— the first unified global bird taxonomy. Today, I'm excited to share that this groundbreaking dataset is now available to R users through the avilistr package on CRAN.

I’m excited to share that my open source R packages, {shinyLP} and {ttbbeer}, have officially hit 100,000 combined downloads!
