@jeremylsinger @UMFlint Congratulations Jeremy!

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@jeremylsinger @sarahlenhoff Congrats to you and @sarahlenhoff ! Can’t wait to buy it, read it, and cite it many times 🙂

@Maddz4planning @gregspierce @loya_jose Normally the Mets are a safe bet along with the Angels, but Grimace had other ideas this year

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@arielbphd @UMD_MAPP Yay congrats!

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@arielbphd @sarahlenhoff @whstancil @casey_dawkins @EDeBray @PRRAC_DC I love that this class exists!

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

Simultaneously the best (creativity of students) and worst (institutionally-racist policy failure) thing I’ve ever watched

[Dr. Death Metal @TheUnshored]

These kids dropped an absolute banger

AND smoked the Louisville public school system for their failure to provide adequate bus service to Black students

@ChenglinHong Painful lesson I learned earlier this year too — auto save to the Microsoft cloud!

@ArtButSports @CaitlinClark22 @IowaWBB @ClarksonCreativ @MarchMadnessWBB Your best work yet @ArtButSports

[The Sickos CBB Committee @SickosCBB]

Brown Bears,
Brown Bears,
What do you see?

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@MichaelJLev Can’t miss it if you can’t see it

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@baseballhall @baseballhall Nice tribute, but there’s only one recognition worthy of what she’s done for the game: INDUCT HER. No one has had greater influence on how today’s fans enjoy the game in-person than Janet Marie Smith. Every park built since Camden Yards bears her influence.

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@jeremylsinger See you there!

[CUTC @CUTCResearch]

Congratulations to Amy Lee on the Charley V. Wootan Memorial Award! Well done!

@gregspierce @willwheels I wondered the same thing as @willwheels when I first read this. @gregspierce is there any noticeable difference in water consumption when school is and isn’t in session, controlling for weather?

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@ChenglinHong @labramsucla Gotta believe, @ChenglinHong ! Also, this: https://t.co/amk50fns38

@jeremylsinger @bmann_edu @sarahlenhoff @drdsedwards @terrancelgreen @e_frankenberg Yes, try the ArcGIS tool! Like @bmann_edu I haven’t used it in a while (pre- current ArcGIS Pro version), but I remember doing this for an assignment when learning GIS. The only complication I can imagine is the lack of city name. Happy to jump on a call if helpful.

@mirijulip My absolute fav is the bike path along the towpath of the old Blackstone Canal @BHC_Inc

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@sarahlenhoff @jeremylsinger Without a doubt, @jeremylsinger is one of my favorite people I’ve met at a conference — both for his research and as a person. (So too is @sarahlenhoff!)

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@n_j_klein @gregspierce @HopSkipDrive In some cases, districts are very likely paying parents who would have often driven their kids to school anyway. This also puts a disproportionate burden on women/moms who tend to handle the bulk of school trips

[Sam Speroni @ssperoni12]

@n_j_klein @gregspierce Yes! Multiple east coast school districts did this last year, too. Haven’t seen any large-scale adequate solutions yet, although mobility-as-a-service like @HopSkipDrive can help plug smaller holes.
