Simple R projects for learning with a physics background

[quelarion]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to learn using R, having the background of a theoretical physics PhD.
What I would need is some simple project to work on that provides me with a dataset and a specific goal. It doesn't really matter what the project is on as long as it gives an opportunity to learn and it doesn't require too much a specialized background to dive in (I would just get the Planck dataset and work on it if I could!)

Any suggestion? Thanks!

I've played around with R a little but not enough to teach anyone else. Here's a place to start; it has some sample small projects:
