I use computers to study colors in pictures sent from flying picture boxes. This tells me if good or bad things are happening in the picture. It's usually bad things, and it's usually people's fault. #SciComm #UpGoer5

The best laid plans of a multi-billion dollar sports league with effectively unlimited resources has made it a week before an outbreak. Now consider large, underesourced public school systems. Or, good God, *college dorms* this fall

Six weeks into widespread self-quarantine, editors of academic journals have started noticing a trend: Women — who (ofc) shoulder more family responsibility — seem to be submitting fewer papers than usual. There is some evidence that men are submitting *more.* (a thread)

Valerie Thomas was the director of the Landsat image processing programs. These are the satellites which revealed so much about the wonderful world we live on, and give us the tools to save lives and conserve wildlife more effectively. She retired in 1995 after 31 years @NASA

Signed - including with my official title as Prof of Geograpy and Information Science & Technology
.@GovRonDeSantis says that someone with a geography degree is "not a data scientist." It's critical to recognize the role geographers & GIScientists play during COVID-19. If you agree sign AAG's letter to the Governor reminding him that geography matters bit.ly/DeSantisGeoMatters

I am getting really frustrated by the number of journal editors declining to babysit my child at the moment. Maybe that's because it is unpaid, exhausting, takes all day, and does nothing for your career progression. Just like peer-reviewing a manuscript.
I am getting really frustrated by the number of scientists declining to peer-review manuscripts at the moment. Please step up and help us academic editors out. We don't have time either, especially to chase after 10s of names to get reviewers. Support the system.

Dear students, Please, please tell us if you're struggling. We are, too. We assume everyone is struggling. We understand. We want to help. Let us know what your specific challenges are so we can target advice/referrals. No, it isn't our job, but we can figure things out together.

And speaking of which, here is our own #GoogleEarthEngine-based multitemporal #SAR viewer. It displays the last 3 @CopernicusEU #Sentinel1 images. bzgeo.users.earthengine.app/…. #EarthEngine #GEE x.com/BZgeo/status/124388006…
Yep, #multitemporal #SAR is pretty useful. 🧐
