Over the past few weeks I have been diving deeper into using some of the AI tools now available to bring to life some of my scientific publications. Using these tools I created a podcast and short video series - Tackling Global Challenges with GIS.

Recently gave a talk on climate and health. To set the scene I made a map capturing where disaster events were reported around the world and summarised the type of events. Some places are more affected than others. Data from Reliefweb. This provides a quick summary, but further analysis is needed.

Female astronaut goes to space but can’t escape online sexism by ‘small men’
Emily Calandrelli posted a video sharing awe of seeing Earth, that was soon flooded with hateful, objectifying comments

Hi Bluesky. I am a #spatial epidemiologist: #gis, #rspatial, #geohealth, #arcgis pro, #spatial data science analyst.
Geospatial4Health - use geo to address a variety of geohealth research topics: vector-borne diseases, health accessibility, climate health and disaster epidemiology.
