Lab-3: Drink Me!

Introduction

We will get acquainted with the RMarkdown format, which allows us to mix text narrative, code, code-developed figures and items from the web in a seamless document.

Then we can try to create something in the lines of what Hans Rosling did.

Something that can:
- provide a visualization
- provide insight
- tell a story
- is reproducible
