Then the focus will shift to the sf, a popular R package for making maps (https://r-spatial.github.io/sf/).  We will walk through several examples of how to use sf to create maps with geographic points (latitude and longitude) and administrative units (e.g., census tracts, counties, states, countries, etc.), as well as adding data attributes that describe these units (e.g., counts, rates, statistical summaries).     This event is offered in a hybrid format, zoom option below.   Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 960 8081 4298 Password: 318793   If you have a disability and have trouble accessing this content, please call the Accessibility Help Line 614-292-5000.
