PhD Success Tip: It's OK to be new at something. And to be bad at it. You will get better if you keep practicing. Ex: I'm working on op-ed writing. It took me a full week to write 750 words. This will get easier if I keep going. @OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie

The best way to learn data analysis is to actually practice it. Each week, the #tidyTuesday challenge gives you plenty of opportunity for this. Don't know how to get started with the challenge? Here's an #rstats guide using this week's data.

Scratched my head for 4 days trying to figure out this code. Now I have beautiful graphs. Worth it? YES
