My name is Will Bonnell and I work at NORC at the University of Chicago doing political survey research. I also help organize a group/set of events called the R Community Collaboratives. I have three years of experience in R and SQL and about a year or two experience programming production dashboards in R Shiny, with some skills in CSS/JS.
- 🔭 I’m currently working on a piece of a scrollytelling built in R shiny displaying migration data.
- 🌱 I’m currently learning Julia, expanding my knowledge of Bayesian methods and causal inference, and applying to PhD programs in international relations.
- 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on interactive data visualisations and data journalism. I'm available for commission or collaboration. Some of my past vizes are available on my website.
- 💬 Ask me about some of my research on spatial influences on voting, how the hell the {openxlsx} package works, or why I think moral foundations theory is garbage.
