“The sweetest R-help group this side of the Mississippi.”
Welcome to the Davis R Users’ Group (D-RUG)! We are a community of R-Users at UC Davis who support each other in using R for science and research. Our focus is providing a space for any/all levels to learn from each other.
- Currently we have weekly work sessions every Wednesday from 10am-12pm
- While we intend to prioritize in-person attendance, there will be a Zoom link in the weekly announcements for people who wish to join remotely
- Join the group listserv here to get the Zoom link and weekly reminders
- Please see our online forum/discourse site (Discourse), it’s a friendly place to post R-related questions, or search for ones that have already been asked!
We have no TAs—just mutual support from folks working on/in R and related topics. A group of D-RUG coordinators help organize and schedule work sessions and presentations. We usually have a few presentations each quarter on a wide range of R topics, from methods, best practices, new packages, or simply for folks to get feedback on their projects. Let us know if you’re interested!

Use the resources on this site
We’ve compiled a list of resources to help you get started using R and find answers to your questions. Our “Getting Started” link has some basic info about installing and learning about R. We maintain a question-and-answer forum at the “Discourse Forum” link, and our “Blog” is a good resource for the topics that we’ve discussed in our meetings.
