Geocomputation Research and Teaching @KCLGEOGRAPHY

[King's College London @KingsCollegeLon]

Today is #AdaLovelaceDay and we’re celebrating our female academics in #STEM 🧪

To kick off, @KingsNMES caught up with their female mathematicians on how best to get started in the field.

The key? Talk to students, postdocs and professors!

Geography of #COVID19 deaths resembles map of childhood deaths in 1850 in England

Key factors include deprivation, over crowding, poor health and working conditions

But these disparities are avoidable

This looks like it will be fun + has high potential to generate results that can help build a better world 🏗️ If you're a data scientist/developer wanting to harness your #RStats/#Python/other skills for good, this could be for you 🚀 If not, spread the word!

[Daniel L J Thomas @DanielLJThomas]

Still carrying out the census in the middle of a pandemic makes little sense. Agree with this. It will show a warped picture of reality. https://t.co/A1IDd1B1C9
