After last year's success, we have opened a registration to 2025 instalment of **Spatial Data Science in Python** as a standalone course open to anyone.
It is perfect for anyone looking to dive spatial data analysis using Python, regardless of prior experience.

Ever needed to simplify street networks? I did. And it is a pain. So we wrote an algorithm that does that for us. And can do for you, as it is available as a Python package called `neatnet`.
Here's a short blog about it - martinfleischmann.net/simplificati... and package - uscuni.org/neatnet

Just arrived in Bristol for #GISRUK! Will be doing a workshop on urban morphology tomorrow morning and then a talk on street network simplification on Thursday. Anyone around?

On this, we crunched the numbers on what the Green Belt is made up of, based on our own (urban) form and function classification (urbangrammarai.xyz/story/). Results (+ code) over at:
urbangrammarai.xyz/green_belts_...
The gist is there are different "shades of green", some of them not very green.

Today was the first time I’ve used #Pixi to manage students' Python environments and I must say, compared to last year's Conda, it was a breeze. The only issue was caused by Avast Antivirus, which removes python.exe from the environment thinking it is a virus :). For, reasons, you know. #python

The teaching started today with a session aimed at Python environment installation (using Pixi) and general setup. Only to find out that wifi on campus is down 🙃. I’m all for improvisation but I’d be happier without this one 😂. What a start of the term.

We may have some leftover budget within my research team. I got some ideas how to spend it but, how would you spend it? Some cool gear to recommend? Other ideas?
