Hi my colleague @BoYangGeo just published a piece using a similar methodology.

Any good resources on deep learning using satellite images in #rstats? Seeing a lot of Python resources, tho less when you filter for satellite/spatial data. I know there have to be some.

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice So no. Unless they do significant work or designed the research this is shady in my opinion.

[T. William Lester @TBillTheProf]

Thanks also to my faculty colleagues who honored me with a gift and kind words for serving as acting chair. @BoYangGeo @ahoura_z @ProfLaxmi A glow in the dark basketball!! How cool.

[T. William Lester @TBillTheProf]

So happy to help celebrate the graduates from our @sjsu_urbp department. Both MUP and Geography students. Congrats to all. @sjsucoss

It was an honor to present the results of my research on the #LivingWage for #tourismWorkersRising yesterday at LA City Hall.

[T. William Lester @TBillTheProf]

It was truly inspiring to hear all the public comments for all sides, but especially from the workers themselves. Then to have the opportunity to share the results of my #numbercrunching in a public forum was amazing.

[T. William Lester @TBillTheProf]

This is why I love being a Social Scientist and proud member of @sjsucoss and @sjsu_urbp

[T. William Lester @TBillTheProf]

This is actually one of the biggest honors ever. One of my greatest mentors read my paper. Not sure if Joe is on #econtwitter but he’s a legend. #thanksjoe. #uiccuppa

[T. William Lester @TBillTheProf]
