# blogdown

> **Dr. Alison Hill** (@apreshill; 2/1): @KDChalkley @PDXWiIT my totally predictable advice- make a #rstats #blogdown site (you know how!) and build it out (link to all the things: git, twitter, etc), see @statsgen as a great example, same with @cantabile. Also join new #rladies community slack https://t.co/GHEKJQ22Gb  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1022967676174524417)

> **JuliaStewart Lowndes** (@juliesquid; 10/1): Bookdown is *such* a valuable tool for scientists to analyze, write, organize, communicate, and share their research – efficiently and reproducibly.

It's a weird a disincentive - the better the materials online, the less likely I am to attend when I'm town between multiple sessions. Better materials = can read &amp; catch up later.

The trick is adding `r ''` before the three back ticks to throw off the parser that finds the R chunks. https://t.co/mJllZkVgdI  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1022923878157443072)

> **Omar Wasow** (@owasow; 2/0): @dgkeyes @apreshill @StatGarrett @rstudio Finally, I try to emphasize that there are multiple languages they are learning: formatting (Markdown or Tex), statistics (R), glue that binds the two together (knitr). In other words, challenge isn't so much learning multiple syntaxes as knowing which to speak in which context.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1022887437519925248)
