This is a home for various data science projects, where I try to analyse some interesting public datasets, build pretty and informative graphics and share the R code.
I'm Ben Moore, a computational biology / bioinformatics PhD student at the University of Edinburgh , UK. I picked up the R programming language during my MSc at Imperial College London and use it constantly in my day-job, along with some Python . For fun I sometimes apply these tools to interesting-looking datasets that are lying around the web, and try to tell their stories through well-designed data visualisations . Some blog posts are mirrored on R-bloggers , a blogging community for the R language.
