Who are RLadies Philly?

RLadies is an organization that "promotes gender diversity in the R community and in data science more broadly" (). In additional to a community Slack, they hold monthly meetups, and collaborations with other organizations.

How did we get in contact?

Marieke Jackson, who was leading a Code for Philly , met Karla Fettich at an RLadies meetup. Karla was an RLadies organizer and volunteer at Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

How did the relationship progress?

Eventually, Marieke heard about Karla's work at PAWS and wondered whether it was a good fit for Code for Philly. At this point, she had joined Code for Philly's leadership team. She and Michael Chow--projects co-lead at the time--set up a quick initial meeting, and scheduled PAWS to present at a hacknight!

To learn more about the PAWS project, see their .
