Dear all,
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for our upcoming online course:
Dealing with Messy Data in R: Data Cleaning and Visualisation
Dates: online, 8?10 April 2026
Course website: [ https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/messy-data/ ]( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/messy-data/ )
Real-world data is often messy, inconsistent, and difficult to analyse. This hands-on course provides a practical introduction to loading, cleaning, transforming, and visualising tabular data in R using the tidyverse and ggplot2. Participants will learn to build clear, effective, and publication-ready visualisations while developing confidence working with complex datasets.
In this course, attendees will learn how to:
Load, inspect, and clean messy data with tidyverse tools
Handle missing values, recode variables, and reshape data
Combine multiple tables for integrated analysis
Apply the grammar of graphics
Produce high-quality plots using ggplot2
Customise colours, themes, labels, and layouts
Create accessible and colourblind-friendly figures
Export visualisations for reports and publications
Best regards, Carlo
