The many maps of Atlanta’s Stop Cop City Movement Camille Harris and Clio Andris

Research about the Stop Cop City movement and activists in Atlanta through the lens of maps was shared here at the computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW '25) in Bergen, Norway this week. #cscw2025

Want to learn how to visualise and analyze spatial data in the social sciences and build your #GIS skills? Last chance to sign up for my Intro QGIS course starting tomorrow with InStats instats.org/seminar/intr... Or check out my Advanced QGIS course starting next week: instats.org/seminar/adva...

This is always a fave....

Figure 5. Combine View lets users analyze a) a combination of one or more binning methods by visualizing b) the most consistent Bin, c) the frequency of the most consistent Bin, and d) both together for each U.S. county in separate choropleths. The new, resiliency binning method then utilizes this information to g) determine “resilient” bins (counts, intervals) that are also visualized in a choropleth. Hovering any county on the map shows a tooltip with relevant information about the county, as shown in e) and f).

New article! A fantastic new tool Exploropleth: exploratory analysis of data binning methods in choropleth maps, from @arpitnarechania.bsky.social Alex Endert & Clio Andris doi.org/10.1080/1523... #GISchat website exploropleth.github.io video of the tool in action: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNV8...

Please get in touch (DM me or a coauthor) if you use it in your classes (please please) or want to do some dev work!

This project was led by Arpit Narechania narechania.com who is now an Assistant Professor in the CSE department at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).

Different maps that show life expectancy by county in the U.S., where the data is divided using different data binning methods.

Box plot style graphics show data points for adult percent obesity by county in the U.S.

Hi data people, check out Exploropleth! exploropleth.github.io/exploropleth/. It's free, open source software that shows how binning methods affect maps. There's also a teaching worksheet and a journal article in CaGIS: exploropleth.github.io

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

NIH pulled off a ‘near miracle.’ Scientists say there’s still a problem. The National Institutes of Health is on track to give away all of its grant money to labs, but research on cancer, aging and diabetes is still being left behind.

The round-the clock work of officials inside NIH helped put the agency on track to get all of its grant money out to labs across the country, the majority of its nearly $48 billion budget.

It was a feat that earlier this year seemed nearly impossible.

I am part of the world's population where if you send me a flipflop emoji, I will respond with "ouch, wtf!" 🩴

Me too! 🐓

📣 New preprint from the SCIMaP team!

Across three studies, we show that communicating the economic impact of NIH funding cuts—especially with interactive quizzes and maps—decreases approval and motivates action to oppose the cuts, across the political spectrum. 🧵 1/8

Yeah there are a few of them..the case studies are fun to read. If i remember though, they are all us based...

There have been a few cool books written that support that idea. They also have this cool interactive mall map:
retrofittingsuburbia.com

Faceted plot with panels for Atlanta, Pittsbrugh, and Houston. Focal counties (Dekalb, Alleghany, and Houston) are outlined. Surrounding counties are shaded by future estimated annual economic loss due to the proposed cap on indirect costs based on commuter flows that connect to a focal county (indicated by light pink outline).

#SCIMaP estimates current & future economic losses in local communities across the US (counties & Congressional Districts). We explain our approach in a new preprint: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Good call on the double hashbrowns, I'm going to try that next time (with jalapeños)....and we do need that funding for sure to keep our system going. 🚍🚍🚍
