Presenting technical concepts to different audiences

Many times, at the end of some piece of analysis or meeting a milestone in a project, I found myself wondering how to best present the results so that others see what I see, i.e., why I think my results are interesting and helpful to others.I’m keen to know if people have other tricks/secrets to make a presentation interesting/engaging/useful/helpful. I’ll share below my current approach for building a presentation: Understand my primary audience. Not everyone in my audience may be relevant or may be interested to take any actions on the back of my presentation so I’ll try to narrow it down to a group of people and I’ll focus to get my message across to them specifically. This doesn’t mean I ignore everyone else, I’ll try to make the presentation as inclusive as possible but without spending too much time explaining concepts that are quite common knowledge to my primary audience. Plan your presentation: how to build the story + how to present the story depending on the audience (heav

Choosing suitable plots for presenting results

In my first year as a PhD student, I made the massive mistake to choose the wrong type of plot to present some results to my supervisor. Obviously, that constructive feedback is stuck into my mind and I’ll never forget it now:Having great results is not enough, I also need to choose the right plot to present them. In the meantime, I found this chart that I wish I had back then. I think it helps quite a lot when deciding which plot to use depending on your data.Have you ever chosen the wrong type of plot to present your results? 😅

How do you add vertical gridlines between columns in the formattable R package?

I’m trying to make a copy of a visualisation of a table from Excel in R so that it can be automated as the original version is very labour intensive. From a google it seems formattable is the best package to achieve this, but I can’t find any documentation for adding lines between columns. Does anyone have experience with this package, and know how to do that?

When to make use of Open Source data?

Many customer projects could benefit from additional data from other sources. However, this comes with its own complications such as:How is it maintained? How is it stored? Are the customers OK with this approach? How is it sourced?

Formatting shiny webapps 💡

I’m looking for tips on how to best format shiny webapps and their linked components!  Beyond a css file (Cascading Style Sheets), which describes how HTML elements are to be displayed, I can’t find a good way of applying formatting to shiny webapp elements. For instance, formatting a valuebox element by changing font sizes/styles, switching the output value with the descriptive text/title and moving anys symbols from the bottom left to the top right hand corner.Does anyone have any tips on easily applying formatting, or some good go to resources on css files?
