And I still cannot spell or type: that was meant to reference @ESPOL. In better news, my keynote slides are now up at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/presen… thanks to the decent airport wifi -- which doesn't block ssh ports as ESPOL did, ahem ;-)

Goodbye to Guyaquil and @EPSOL / @IcorsLacsc2019 with special thanks to @HolgerCevallosV @mmendozav and their team. Final selfie has me up at Los Penas / Faro in 85 degrees earlier ... but the view was so worth it as you can see at photos.app.goo.gl/sVuAYD7Y2r… #IcorsLacscESPOL

Thanks so much to everybody behind #IcorsLacscESPOL which was a truly memorable conference. Sorry I bailed on the last morning but I found some sunshine at the western tip of Ecuador and can take a fine little sunburn home...

After putting off learning how to use #Rcpp for years, I have finally (and SUCCESSFULLY) incorporated #Cplusplus into my #Rcode with a little help from @jameshay218 and @eddelbuettel. Feeling pretty badass atm 😎 #rstats #WomenInSTEM #epitwitter
