Testimonials
Rita was a joy to work with. Mindful of deadlines and ways of working, Rita addressed her brief with great expertise and understanding. The content she produced was of excellent standard and was very well received during user testing. I'd love the chance to work with her again!

Rita has presented lectures and tutorial sessions on the use of R in Crystallography over many years at a number of workshops organised by the IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Computing and by the European Crystallographic Association, Special Interest Group in Crystallographic Computing. Her in-depth understanding of the underlying statistics and use of R, clear presentation and rapport with students has made her one of the most valuable contributors to these events.
