tidytuesday

Tidy Tuesday is a weekly community challenge run by Jon Harmon and team in the Data Science Learning Community. Each week the team post a dataset to their github page and data enthusiasts from around the world make something with it and share their creations using the #TidyTuesday hashtag.

I document my TidyTuesday process here, creating useful resources for the community about how my plot came about. Recently I have also curated datasets for Tidy Tuesday (see Week 20 re Sydney Beaches and Week 25 re global measles cases).
