Really enjoyed my time @dagstuhl this week, thinking about (and hacking on) new ideas in spatial causal inference. Thanks @dinomirMT and @Yanan_Xin for organizing, and am looking forward to all the new things that’ll follow!

so, an opinionated take: 'Urban Analysis and Spatial Science' will be available from CRC Press in early 2025 :) the digital version (still in draft) is at knaaptime.com/urban_analysis… comments, criticism, and feedback welcome.

Spatial Optimization in the snow was really fun ❄️📈 if you’re curious on the materials, I’m keeping my spatial optimization/operations research curriculum open at GitHub.com/ljwolf/intro-to-s…
Last week we had a pleasure to have @levikohnwolf from @GeogBristol teaching #spatial optimisation with #python for our @GemMsc and #UrbanGIS students @unitartu 🐍🌎 Awesome lectures, workshops and discussions 🤩
