Join our workshop on Visualizing Variance with Sankey diagrams/Riverplots using R: An Illustration with Longitudinal Multi-level Modeling, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series!
Here’s some more info:
Title: Visualizing Variance with Sankey diagrams/Riverplots using R: An Illustration with Longitudinal Multi-level Modeling
Date: Thursday, November 26th, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Daniel P. Moriarity, PhD is a clinical psychologist with a particular interest in immunopsychiatry, psychiatric phenotyping, and methods reform in biological psychiatry. He currently works as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the UCLA Laboratory for Stress Assessment and Research with Dr. George Slavich. Starting January 2025, he will join the University of Pennsylvania’s Psychology Department as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology.
Description: This workshop will illustrate how to create Sankey diagrams/Riverplots with a focus on longitudinal multilevel modeling to separately visualize between-person and within-person variance. However, the technique can be applied to many other visualizations of different sources of variance (e.g., different variables, random vs. fixed effects). Data + code templates will be provided to follow along with.
Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)
Please note that the registration confirmation email will be sent 1 day before the workshop.
How can I register?
- Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/4aD5LMC or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro. Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go directly to support Ukraine.
- Save your donation receipt (after the donation is processed, there is an option to enter your email address on the website to which the donation receipt is sent)
- Fill in the registration form, attaching a screenshot of a donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after donation).
If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a participation of a student, who will then be able to participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.
How can I sponsor a student?
- Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/4aD5LMC or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro (or 17 GBP or 20 USD or 800 UAH). Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go to support Ukraine!
- Save your donation receipt (after the donation is processed, there is an option to enter your email address on the website to which the donation receipt is sent)
- Fill in the sponsorship form, attaching the screenshot of the donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a particular student or we can allocate this spot ourselves to the students from the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you prefer us to prioritize students from developing countries when assigning place(s) that you sponsored.
If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by signing up for the waiting list).
You can also find more information about this workshop series, a schedule of our future workshops as well as a list of our past workshops which you can get the recordings & materials here.
Looking forward to seeing you during the workshop!

Long-Term Implications and Future Developments of Sankey Diagrams/Riverplots using R Workshop
The announcement and detailed description of an educational workshop titled “Visualizing Variance with Sankey diagrams/Riverplots using R: An Illustration with Longitudinal Multi-level Modeling” indicates the increasing importance of data visualization as well as the application of R programming in the field of data science. This workshop has long-term implications not only for participants but for the wider community of data scientists and analysts.
Future Impact on Data Visualization and R Programming
The focus of the workshop on demonstrating how to create Sankey diagrams/Riverplots using R for visualizing variance in longitudinal multilevel modeling marks a growing trend towards the application of R for data analysis and visualization. As illustrated by the speaker’s profile, such workshops are increasingly bridging the gap between complex statistical analysis and clinical psychology. This trend may lead to a future where data science plays an even more integral role in psychiatry and medical research.
Implications on Educational Workshops and Philanthropy
The workshop also sets a pattern for future initiatives where education and philanthropy intersect. The unique registration process, which involves making a donation, demonstrates a commitment to supporting humanitarian causes. This innovative method could pave the way for similar charitable/scholarship-based initiatives, where the participation fee doubles as a donation to a good cause. Also, the model of sponsoring students’ participation could lead to an increase in opportunities and accessibility of such workshops for students who cannot afford the registration fee.
Actionable Advice
- Expand Knowledge Base: Data scientists, analysts, and psychologists should consider participating in or promoting such workshops. These workshops provide an opportunity to expand one’s knowledge base and learn how to use R for visualizing complex statistical data.
- Incorporate Philanthropic Initiatives: Anyone organizing educational workshops or courses should consider integrating philanthropic initiatives into their registration process. The model wherein participation fees are donated to a cause not only fosters a sense of social responsibility but also provides a novel way to support humanitarian causes.
- Promote Student Sponsorship: Businesses and individuals should consider sponsoring students who cannot afford the fees of such valuable workshops. This not only aids in the dissemination of knowledge but also helps in fostering a culture of learning and inclusivity.
