# Palmer Penguins

The Palmer penguins dataset by Allison Horst, Alison Hill, and Kristen Gorman was first made publicly available as an R package. 
The goal of the Palmer Penguins dataset is to replace the highly overused Iris dataset for data exploration & visualization. 
However, now you can use Palmer penguins on huggingface!
