slight change to the schedule for 11/25

Hi all,

As you may have heard, psychology has a cool speaker coming rather last minute next week: Antonella Pavese, leader on the Google User Experience team. She sounds pretty baller (http://www.antonellapavese.com/about/). She did a post-doc here at the UO with Mike Posner, and will be talking about her work. If you want to hear her speak, here’s where you need to be:

2:00 on Tuesday Nov 25 in Franklin, room 271B

We’re not exactly sure how long her presentation (or questions afterward) will run, so I’m afraid R Club may start late. If you’re planning to come to the talk, great, we can all just trot next door to R Club when it’s over. If not, plan to arrive at 3:30 next week instead of 3:00 (unless you’re cool with hanging out more or less alone for a little while, in which case, 3:00 will work just fine).

In other news, it sounds like we have the opportunity to get some $ponsor$hip for R Club (see what I did there?) from Revolution Analytics. We can chat about it during our meeting next week. For some background, check out this blog post written by a student at UC-Davis who runs a group like ours (they’re sponsored): http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2014/11/users-groups-for-ongoing-learning.html
