    • Writing Reproducible Reports using Quarto (Episode 13)
      Discussion with Paolo and Thomas
      Communicating data is so important! Quarto is a fantastic tool for writing reproducible reports
      using literate programming. Literate programming allows us to incorporate documentation and
      code in the same program. The data science community has embraced this idea by adopting
      Rmarkdown and Jupyter Notebooks. Using Quarto efficiently, you can create parametrized
      reports, write scientific publications, and build data-driven slides.
      Enjoy this super-interesting conversation with Thomas Neitmann, and be an effective data
      scientist!
