                  1. Really excited about @AmeliaMN's keynote about Speaking R and Dialects of R. I have been focusing on literacy in #ready4r and it's lovely to see her examples! #useR2020 @useR2020stl/1281290415396794369

              Really like the idea of pair programming through speaking and verbalizing code. Sounds like a great way to mentor students and up skills.

            I'm totally nerding out about how @AmeliaMN is talking about ways to verbalize code. Loving this.

          The pipe really helps to verbalize code in terms of making programming a linear process. I force students to make separate mutate statements for each thing they do for this reason.

        Being aware of "silent characters" (characters we skip over when we verbalize code) and how they can impede beginners.

      This talk also reminds me of the Yakov Smirnov Joke: "My car told me 'the door is ajar'. "What is the window then, a spoon?!???"

    Language readability affects learning or beginners. Mentioning that #rstats is more readable than Python for beginners and showing examples. #useR2020

        I cannot imagine teaching two different classes, one using the formula interface, and the other in tidyverse. My hat is off to you, @AmeliaMN. #UserR2020

          I am coming away from this talk with lots of ideas about improving my teaching. I am really grateful, @AmeliaMN. #useR2020
