They provide workshops and events to help biologists learn R programming and analyze genomic data. The group promotes inclusivity and empowerment, especially for women and individuals from low-income countries. The R community in Tunisia is mainly focused on industry rather than academia. The group's recent activities include workshops on genomics, AI, and chatbot development. They value feedback from attendees and strive to stay current with industry trends. The group's events are currently online, but they are considering organizing hybrid events in the future. They are also working on projects using R language for genomic research and RNA analysis. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
