The long-awaited @uscensusbureau 2020 Census DHC and DP files were released today, and you can use them in tidycensus (dev version) right now! I'm also launching a workshop series in June to teach you how to use the new data with #rstats and tidycensus: walker-data.com/workshops.html

@jcusens @chai_allah Happy to answer any questions you may have

Excited to announce the release of my first R package, PPGISr: An R package for Public Participatory GIS github.com/GLISA-umich/PP…, which includes a user-friendly online version derek-van-berkel-shiny.shinyapps.io/PPGISr/

While there are numerous user-friendly decision support tools based on GIS, PPGISr adds novel functionality for the collection and analysis of users’ location priority areas.

With functionality to add a user-defined editable map, basemaps and mapping categories, the application is highly flexible for guiding decision-making in diverse contexts

Details can be found here sciencedirect.com/science/articl…, and it was made possible by @ThomasEstabroo6 @rahul_a_bej @n_fox @EricaAkemigGoto @Lisa_N_Maillard @Gilly_Devin

I wrote a blog about @Terra_Nil, the hit 'reverse city builder'/ecosystem restoration puzzle game. I think it offers something really unique and important. But there's lots to question. I connect Terra Nil to the @IPBES Nature Futures Framework as well!

@TwitterDev @derekvanberkel @andreaghe @JLangemeyer, interesting that they acknowledge the impact on academia, buy have no current solution. Perhaps @TwitterDev could be encourage to provide open access for research based on the results of our newest paper cell.com/one-earth/pdf/…

Thrilled to see our critical review on 'Social media data for environmental sustainability' finally published!! @andreaghe @derekvanberkel @ICTA_UAB cell.com/one-earth/full…
