What a semester in MUSA508 where students went from novice to pitching their geospatial machine learning apps to predict parking spaces, wildfires, opioid overdoses, train delays, AirBnB prices, and restaurant violations! Amazing work all semester long.

I’m giving a lecture tomorrow at @Penn @penn_planning @WeitzmanSchool about nighttime cities, music and creative space, activism and data. It’s open to the public.
