I'm excited to announce a long overdue update to {tidyclust}! This release brings support for 3 new model types: DBSCAN, Gaussian mixture, and mean shift models.
We also now support parallel processing with {future} and {mirai}

Little blog post, preprint included, re: spatial/image Bioc hackathon on a little Venetian island — Thank you @wkhuber.bsky.social and especially @davi1893.bsky.social (and Elena!) for organizing and securing this 🤩 location 🤩 — Let’s do it again!
Many results, new or improved packages, and future directions in this report on the Bioconductor Spatial Data and Image Analysis Hackathon that took place in Venice in April 2026.

@jengreitz.bsky.social l & my lab want to co-hire a computational biologist/biostatistician with project management expertise to help map the regulatory code of the human genome and discover genetic mechanisms of disease.

Great example of using R for efficient, LLM-enabled data science (by Hadley Wickham)
tidyclust 0.3.0 is now on CRAN. This release adds support for DBSCAN, Gaussian Mixtures, and Mean Shift Models, plus closer alignment with the tidymodels framework.
I am deeply honoured to be a laureate of the 2026 Rousseeuw Prize, which has been awarded to the R Project.
I have been on the R Core Team for almost 30 years, We built and maintained R with a vision to make statistical tools freely available and extendable.
Congratulations to entire team!

The Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics is a biennial prize to celebrate outstanding contributions to statistics research.
Last week we precisely defined an agent: an LLM, in a harness, that calls tools repeatedly in a loop. This week we'll fix a few deliberate simplifications and explore the consequences of the harness i...
Ask a bare LLM to multiply two big numbers and it'll confidently get it wrong. But ask an LLM on the web and it gets it right. What's the difference? In my latest post, I dig further into the harness, what it can do and why it matters: open.substack.com/pub/tidydesi...

🧬 Earlier this year, members of the Bioconductor community met on San Servolo Island, Italy, for a 3-day hackathon on spatial omics and bioimaging.
The event produced a collaborative preprint to strengthen spatial omics support across Bioconductor.
