@BrettFrischmann Thanks Brett! I hope enjoy it. It is the textbook for my fall @PennMusa course. My hope is that others will find parts of it useful for their own teaching.

50 years of algorithm critique in #Planning and I always come back to this @APA_Planning #JAPA piece from *1973* by Doug Lee. Lessons learned from the 1960s lead him to these recommendations for "future modeling efforts". They are just as useful today...

Well worth a read. These new mobility data and the insights they provide will be fundamental to the spatial analysis field in the years to come. This is a concise run down of the ethical concerns.

Amazing @UpshotNYT dashboard showing real-time wildfire perimeters derived from satellite imagery. Also - very cool use of the Global Human Settlements population data. nytimes.com/interactive/20… Not begging - but a time slider would be awesome ;)

Most spatial analysis models identify risk focused on previous adverse events. Geospatial risk prediction models identify risk by modeling spatial systems & why things occur where. I recorded my @UCGIScience workshop. youtu.be/Fe-5c76ApeQ?t=1 A taste. #rstats #rspaitial RMD 👇

Check out this repo to replicate the San Francisco #rspatial #ml building fire prediction workshop I gave at @UCGIScience. Something for everyone - #OpenData; spatial cross validation; Local Morans I. github.com/urbanSpatial/P… I'm going to try to record this as well.

New OMB guidance on evidenced-based decision making in gov't is A+. Consider the Learning Agenda for local govt. Craft analytics to solve specific strategic planning goals eg. 'reduce gun violence'. Seems easy, but not the current culture. bit.ly/3hlZudn
