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 ) ➡️ fcorowe.github.io/intro-gds/
The code & data are here: github.com/fcorowe/intro-gds

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.

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 ow.ly/J2a350WBxMV

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. sdruk.ukri.org/our-work/case…
