My Intro Geospatial Data Science class skyrocketed to 83 students (and counting) this year. SO MANYYY EMAILS! Next class, I will talk AGAIN about organising communication and using the Learn forum instead of email when there is no sensitive info, which is most of the time📩 TBH.

Got tired of issues when teaching raincloud plots. The ptitprince package was good but no maintenance for 5 years. I created my single-function Python package to solve the problem: github.com/vsbrumb/raincl… Let me know if there is a better package out there pls!

If you are supervising an international student who is trying to write in their non-native language - tell them how awesome they are. They often feel incompetent, frustrated and even stupid. In reality they're really smart - just doing something very complicated. Tell them.

It is a beautiful day to apply for NZ permanent residency! After 11 years faffing around with VISAS. The prospect of having to deal with it only for traveling is fantastic!

Have you ever found out after your GPS tracking study that someone had already collected similar data? Or struggled to find collaborators? We’ve been there. That’s why we created OpenGPS. doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.… #OPENDATA #OPENGPS
