Dr. David Mark has been very supportive to the founding and the development of CPGIS, which is now the home of over 3000 Chinese students and scholars in the field of GIScience across 59 countries and regions. He will be deeply missed. May his soul rest in peace.

Exciting news today! IPUMS founder Steven Ruggles (@Steven Ruggles) was named a #MacFellow by MacArthur Foundation. Known as the “genius grant” he is being recognized for the incredible contributions he’s made through IPUMS in providing easy access to harmonized data. macfound.org/fellows/class-…

#AAG2023 Here is the list of sessions at the AAG GeoAI Symposium in Denver! See you tomorrow! Led by Yingjie Hu Wenwen Li Dalton Lunga Orhun Aydin PDF schedule available at go.wisc.edu/rz86f4

A series of invited talks at recognized Universities and Institutes in China to share my research outcomes from UMN CURA FIRP grant. Non-sleep summer break but super worth it !😵‍💫

'ChatGPT use shows that the grant-application system is broken' nature.com/articles/d4158… - I'd go further; that LLMs can fool bureaucracies with bullshit shows the role of bureaucracy has never been to properly order and regulate, but simply to obfuscate the location of real power

Three University of Minnesota students were among the awardees of scholarships from the MN GIS/LIS Consortium: Jacob Rhode, Peter Mitchell, and Luke Zaruba. Learn about these and other stellar students at storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7eedeb… #umnproud UMN Geography
