My latest β€œGIS in 60s” video, on Dijkstra’s shortest paths algorithm. #GISchat

I found this one pushed the limits of what I can explain in 60s. So I’m interested to hear if you think it works or not. But even if not, I did learn some new #AfterEffects tricks along the way and it was fun to make.

It's World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2024, so here's a reminder that the American approach toward road safety has failed.

"Even after adjusting for distance driven, US fatality rates remain 2x the rich-world average."

Truly enjoyed learning about Dr. Heidi Hanson's research on Population Health Surveillance at Oak Ridge National Laboratory during the Spatial Utah Data Science (SUDS) Fall Keynote. Research at national labs is fascinating due to its scale, scope, and direct utility. Hits me every time!
