In the summer, I delivered a introductory course to geographic data science in #rspatial drawing on @darribas's excellent Python material.

The course is open (👌🏽cost ) ➡️ https://t.co/LL2U33Gj8U
The code & data are here: https://t.co/d5kbDXi7GU

Social capital was meant to be #democracy's bulwark. It isn't (not on its own)
My brand new research with @pedrofierroz, @Fcorowe & @EllenHel in @JRS83202671 shows that bonding social capital fuelled the #Trump swing. Bridging #SocialCapital blunted it.

New paper!

📍 Internal displacement is hard to measure in the first days of a crisis. Our new study evaluates whether privacy-preserving GPS mobility data can support short-term displacement estimation.

[Demography Journal @ReadDemography]

In “Impacts of COVID-19 on Internal Population Movements,” @MiguelGLeonardo, @Fcorowe et al. used Facebook user mobility data to illustrate that contrary to the Global North, “Mexico did not see an urban exodus during the pandemic." @geodatascience https://t.co/z1ak56KRF0

V happy to see our project DEBIAS with @CCabreraPhD featured by @UKRI_News @SmartDataRes. Mobile phone data have transformed how we understand cities & populations. But they are biased.

DEBIAS aims to identify and correct biases in mobility patterns derived from these data ...

👋 Say hello to our accelerators! Over the coming months, we'll profile each of our nine accelerator teams. First up @Fcorowe and
@CCabreraPhD, whose groundbreaking research project could transform how governments study population change. https://t.co/3yDnRBGyr9
