Bryson Torgovitsky (D2) recently attended the International Conference for Young Marine Sciences (ICYMARE) 2025 meeting, which was hosted in the coastal city of Bremerhaven, Germany. At ICYMARE, Bryson hosted a workshop entitled “Unboxing R” where he provided a crash-course introduction to the R coding language and the RStudio freeware. The goal of this workshop was the construction of a reproducible access-to-analysis data pipeline and practice with coding for students of the marine sciences. This workshop also followed the completion of the first semester of the Unboxing R seminar series which Bryson also designed and hosts here at Tohoku University.
