Ever made a world map? Then you have likely wondered which projection to choose. I have outlined a method to tailor (compromise) projections specifically to your needs, using Discrete Global Grid Systems and ideas from Classical Mechanics. doi.org/10.1080/175389…

We, the Space & Place LAB at the @PLUS_1622, are thrilled to welcome Eugen Unterberger to our team! Eugen conducts research in the field of cultural mediation using digital methods, related to space, place, and beyond. #placeAndSpace lab.space-and-place.net

Having a great Saturday at the ⁦@hadw_bw⁩! Science is just great!

Day 2 of the conference was a blast. A (partial) group photo from the St. Lawrence Sightseeing Cruise. #COSIT2024

We, the Space & Place LAB at the @PLUS_1622, are thrilled to welcome Jonas Faria Costa to our team! Jonas explores how the concept of place is fundamental in understanding human agency and sociality at large, but also vice-versa. #placeAndSpace lab.space-and-place.net

On my way to #AGILE2024 and I met @franzbenjamin in Edinburgh — well, at least his better half 😂

What a lovely trip to Helsinki! Teaching, presenting, meeting nice people and capable researchers … and ending up with sunny weather at the beach. @DrKamyar_h @Vuoggis @A_C_Robinson @chrxf @LinkedScience @TuuliToivonen @tenkahen @pyrykettu @Tadusk0 @digigeolab and many more!

Looking forward to presenting my past and current research in a talk on Thursday initiated by @tessio_novack at @ils_research! (Thanks for the invite!) In my presentation, I will summarise the essential connections in my work into a bigger picture.

We're thrilled to have @franzbenjamin with us next week @helsinkiuni @digigeolab. Franz will give a guest lecture in our new #cartography course and a keynote in Geoinromatics research days. Register to this #GeoSPA talk to attend in person or online. geospa.org/register/

I just attended @franzbenjamin's fantastic inaugural lecture in #Salzburg and highly recommend anyone near Helsinki to attend his keynote!

We've made it past the finishing line – and both of us achieved decent times. @rwesterh87 representing @TU_Dortmund (and me @PLUS_1622) at the Salzburger Lauffestspiele. #plusläuft #salzburgmarathon

Time for another RAM Colloquium! @ruthneville20 will discuss with us the spatiotemporal modelling of international student applications into UK higher education. Fr, 17 May, 10am CEST Hybrid (GBIII/517 and on Zoom) Registration: forms.gle/8wAtYaZL6psVdN…

We are thrilled and proud that 3 maps created by our @cartography_MSc students & alumni made it into the final selection of maps in Vol VII of @NACIS_Atlas. Congratulations to Milana, @pheebely and Camila and all other Finalists! We are looking forward seeing the maps published.

Ending the day with some great presentations on visualisations from @rJBeecham, @jonnyhuck and @rwesterh87!

Yesterday, @luopku visited us to provide a lecture on spatial association modelling! Thank you for this!

Great lecture by @Joe_GISc about the knowledge representation through graphs @PLUS_1622!

as a longtime fan of Conway's "Game of Life" algorithm i never once considered visualizing the time axis physically -- this is breathtaking and elegant to me credit: instagram.com/reel/C2hoRnFsm…

Great news to share 📢 From April 1, I'll be #EXDIGIT professor for #PrivacyEngineering and policy-aligned systems (#PEPSys) at the @PLUS_1622's faculty of digital and analytical sciences (#DAS). Together with brilliant colleagues (@franzbenjamin, @christine_bauer, and more),…

🌟 I’m so excited to publicly announce my love of @The_AmericanBar and also talk about my experience of using Datawrapper to visualize narratives! 👀 Keep an eye out for the amazing line-up of Unwrapped speakers being revealed everyday
