My workflow

Here’s a list of tools I use on a regular basis.

I use Mac OS. Most of what I do involves RStudio and LaTeX. I use LaTeX for everything I typeset: papers, slides, posters—I also used it for my PhD thesis and my book. I sometimes use Windows and Office in class to demo different things (e.g., reference management in Word using Mendeley or EndNote, R and RStudio in Windows etc.). Here’s a list of tools I use.

This website: RStudio (RMarkdown, Git, HTML, CSS)
Data analysis: R (RStudio)

- Editors: TexPad (Mac)
- BibDesk or text editor(s) to edit references
- Slides: Beamer or Xaringan for anything involving R
Python: Jupyter Notebook

Photography: These days, mostly Apple’s Photos; Pixelmator Pro is my current go-to advanced tool. You can check some of my photos here. I have used Lightroom and CaptureOne.
