Greenland is greening! It's great to see this research published in @SciReports by Michael Grimes and Jonathan Carrivick. It brings back great fieldwork memories! nature.com/articles/s41598-0… @SoGLeeds

A recently published paper (doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-5…) is getting some traction: we mapped vegetation changes as a result of ice loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet. I did the change analysis using GW binomial regression. theguardian.com/world/2024/f… #rstats #rspatial

To quote ourselves, these features mean that the analysis of these types of data should be "spatial by default", and encourage inter-disciplinary collaboration with those in the geographical sciences to help transfer decades of knowledge from that domain

So happy, particularly for my student (@LZormpas), that the editors saw the value in this commentary. Thanks also to the helpful reviewers. And of course coauthors @lexcomber and @rachelq_ncl!

A lovely piece of work to be involved in. It addresses a critical gap in ST methods which currently do not take account of important considerations & therefore do not take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by location! #SpatialTranscriptomics #rstats #rspatial
Our Perspective "Mapping the Transcriptome - realising the full potential of spatial data analysis" is out today in @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…. A short thread on this work follows...

Been nice knowing you all but X under Musk is not the experience it was, so I won't stay if this happens. I will however miss some of you, feel I've made some friends. Elon Musk says Twitter, now X, is to charge all users subscription fees theguardian.com/technology/2…

Hey Patrick! we are super pleased that you had a good time. It was an impressive showing by the #GIScience community, in terms of numbers, contribution and fun (!). We were fortunate to have a fantastic conference team behind us. @GIScience_conf @gisatleeds @SoGLeeds
Reflections on @GIScience_conf... I had a great week, and couldn't condense my thoughts into a tweet (are they still called tweets anymore?🧐), so I wrote a blog post: patrickballantyne.github.io/… Super thanks to @lexcomber @ajheppenstall and @nickmalleson for an awesome week💚🤟
