Eric's flying solo this week, but the show goes on! The eagerly-anticipated recordings of the 2024 Posit conference are now available and Eric shares a few of his favorite gems, plus the Quarto publishing system takes center stage with how GitHub actions brings automation to report generation, and a terrific batch of answers to the recent R/Pharma workshop on building parameterized Quarto reports in R.
