🎧New episode of the #GLaDpodcast 🎧 @rsfrankl.bsky.social, @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and I liked talking to @wenfeixu.bsky.social so much that we invited her back! Come for the fancy data, stay for engaging conversation™️ and… an Exhibitions entry in your CV. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-cfz7e-...

cool news from PySAL world: the (imminent) next release of the `esda` module will have (1) spatial correlograms and (2) (more importantly) @levijohnwolf.bsky.social's partial Moran's I estimator described in www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1... (both already in main if you can't wait 😎)

🎧New #GLaDpodcast 🎧 Everything you ever wanted to know about mobile phone data in social science and never dared to ask, all in an entertaining™️ conversation btw @levijohnwolf.bsky.social, @rsfrankl.bsky.social, yours truly and the one and only @wenfeixu.bsky.social. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-ufnqe-...

AI is now definitely changing how we live our (geography) lives! Join @rsfrankl.bsky.social, @darribas.bsky.social, and me for another episode of GLaD, where we discuss whether you should be vibe coding w/ Claude, sending ChatGPT review requests, or running on AI-made routes! shorturl.at/GLNKd

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

I've just had the most surreal experience: I googled a relatively niche question about an academic topic and got an AI response paraphrasing *my own* crossvalidated (the stats stack overflow) answer from years prior.

Ep. 2 of our "Navigating the Shoals of the Academic Job Market" is live! we dive into putting an application together, what interviews might be like, and share @rsfrankl.bsky.social , @darribas.bsky.social and I share our experiences in these rough and wild waters! open.spotify.com/episode/2PNm...

It is so constraining to write in a TUI... I'm finally admitting that git+vim+Hugo is a bit masochistic for me, and have moved blog.ljwolf.org back to Tumblr. Just having an iOS app already means it's 1000x easier to keep up to date!

Thanks again #GISRUK2025 for coming by!

New episode of the #GLaD podcast just dropped, Time (mis)management. Everything you always wanting to know (or not) about why we (@rsfrankl.bsky.social, @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and yours truly) are always late, and maybe that’s OK… gladpodcast.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

Second day at #AAG2025 is about to start and maybe you are already overwhelmed as a first time attendee? Here is a podcast by @rsfrankl.bsky.social @darribas.bsky.social @levijohnwolf.bsky.social that you should listen while you get ready for conferencing! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Last day to register for #GISRUK2025 at the early bird rate and get in before the prices increase! More details on the programme and events can be found on the conference website - gisruk.github.io Look forward to seeing many in Bristol in a few weeks!

Sure to be a good time! Come join us in Bristol for all sorts of cool geographic and environmental data science in a beautiful and cool setting 😎

The programme for #GISRUK2025 is now live! See whats happening at this years conference in Bristol, April 22-25th. Registration is still open for if you haven't yet registered! gisruk.org/gisruk-2025 @levijohnwolf.bsky.social @caitrobin.bsky.social

Looking forward to seeing you at Spatiotemporal Causal Analysis (#STCausal2025), stcausal2025.spatial-causal.org with @grantdmckenzie.bsky.social and Cecile de Bezenac!

Thanks for hosting me, @maynoothuniversity.ie! It was a really great time!

Very excited to have @levijohnwolf.bsky.social on campus @maynoothuni.bsky.social tomorrow for a talk on 'City systems and the cause of inequality' for the Geography Department Seminar Series - excited for the talk, stop in if you're around!

I really enjoyed our conversation, and I hope you do, too!

This HN thread on @anthropic.com asking job applicants to not use AI is fascinating… I've seen talented LLM-loving students plateau & burn out on problems the LLM bungles. Seems I'm not alone. Even if LLMs improve, will that plateau ever go away? I doubt it. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4291...

We're nearing the deadline, too! Come join us for a rad time in Bristol this April!

The 2025 GISRUK abstract deadline has now been extended to January 31st, 2025! We're really excited to welcome papers rethinking the role "Process" plays in GIScience. We hope to see your abstract real soon! app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/76668...

Another year in the books! Join @rsfrankl.bsky.social, @darribas.bsky.social, and I in a GLaD Podcast on our year in Geography, Life, and Data—work/life balance (maybe?) in a year of "too much yes," data+model innovations in 2024 & beyond, and NYT's Spelling Bee! www.podbean.com/eas/pb-w4mrv...

The GIS Research UK (GISRUK) 2025 Call for Abstracts is live! This year's theme is **Process in Geographic Information Science,** re-thinking the link between the patterns we see and what we represent on our computer screens. See you in Bristol April 23-25! gisruk.org/gisruk-2025

Full of gratitude to receive The Michael Breheny Prize this year by Environment and Planning B: #Urban Analytics and #City Science. 🙏🏽 @leonardonclt.bsky.social did such an excellent job to convert this work into an accessible framework! Award: doi.org/10.1177/2399... Web: www.cityaccessmap.com

reminder that Luc, Serge, Pedro, Levi and I are teaching spatial analysis, econometrics, and optimization at NARSC tomorrow. Can still register for remote www.narsc.org/newsite/conf... www.narsc.org/newsite/wp-c... ...or just play in codespaces if you want github.com/sjsrey/works...

new paper out today with Serge, Clio and Zak in Networks and Spatial Economics. We develop a bipartite spatial weights matrix extending spatial econometric models to account for multi-contextual spillovers with a focus on neighborhood/school effects link.springer.com/article/10.1...

So excited to finally have a “Fox and Wolf” paper in the wild! Any other zoononynous collaborators! hmu!

The special issue that Somwrita, @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and I coordinated is EPB's current issue! In it you can find 17 stimulating articles to explore the relationship between urban {form, size, infrastructure, mobility} and inequalities all in one place. journals.sagepub.com/toc/epbb/51/7

What do you think? How can you get visibility and still be nice on social media? We've got a few ideas, but we're keen to hear yours!

🎙️ Only 2 more sleeps to the event of the season: the #GLaDpodcast Holiday Special! ☃️✨🎅 This year @levijohnwolf.bsky.social, Dani Arribas-Bel & I are joined by VERY special guests Elizabeth Delmelle, Özge Öner & Jon Reades (@jreades.bsky.social) for ...🥁🥁... A Vibe Check on Cities 🧨☄️🔥 (#geosky)

My first editorial at Environment and Planning, B is up today! I hope to put together a few a year on where we go *beyond* open science. It was really fun to write, so let me know if it's fun to read :)

📣 New #GLaDpodcast episode just dropped! We talk with academic "quitters"—or upgraders!—Seth Spielman, Frances Darlington-Pollock & Carson Farmer to hear why they left academia, where they went, and what makes a good work + research life in and out of the academy. open.spotify.com/episode/5v87...
