It’s TIME!!! The most wonderful time of the year is here 🤩 No, we’re not talking about Christmas... It’s Geography Awareness Week! How do you plan on celebrating? Find out how you can be part of #GeoWeek & GIS Day with resources and ways to get involved: bit.ly/4fuX0Wu
I joke that my maps are horrible, because they usually are! So I’m doing the #30DayMapChallenge to dust off the cobwebs. I had to catch up so here’s day 1: points.
#30DayMapChallenge continues with Day 4: Hexagons! I calculated transit density (total stops per hour) in the Miami area.
#30DayMapChallenge Day 5: A (my!) Journey! Today was a bit busy (nothing going on or anything...) so admittedly this is a bit phoned in. Where have I lived since the 2012 election?

Back after a few years and excited to break the silence with our latest research! We (@ckuejio) dive into the extent to which, and for whom, differential privacy skews life expectancy estimates for census tracts in Florida. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

Here in @molpsychiatry we use @EdinUniLBC brain imaging data to show area-level disadvantage affects brain morphology👇
Living in deprived areas is associated with structural differences in the brains of older people, as our study has shown using the @EdinUniLBC

Happy Meet the Faculty Friday! This week, we're featuring Assistant Professor Amber DeJohn, Ph.D.
First dissertation paper is out! Older adults adapted their pre-pandemic spatial routines to their home, but many felt the intangible aspects of place could not be replaced by ICT equivalents. Spatial agency supports mental health: doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmqr.2024…
my students voted on their favorite presentations/infographics but it looks like we ranked diseases 🤨
A final thought re that controversial @freep op-ed: when people call a place (however flawed) home, it feels personal when an outsider makes public, ill-informed negative critiques. To write a column that argues to take the main economic core from a city is cruel and tone deaf.
All Michigan cities share the same structural challenges. Pitting them against one another is pointless considering the decades of economic disinvestment, social struggle, & infrastructural failings. The article has many contradictions and outright lies… & tacos in Lansing rock?
Here’s an opinion from Nancy Kaffer: Move Michigan’s capitol from Lansing to Detroit freep.com/story/opinion/cont…
