I use #ggplot #gganimate #Rstats to visualize spatiotemporal trends in public ICE detention data.

Watch ICE detention increase over time: more detainees (bigger dots), more non-criminals (blue → red), and more jails far from the border in 2025.

#DataViz

People are being arrested by ICE. What countries are they from?

I analyze public data from deportationdata.org/data/ice.html to find increased arrests for immigrants from many countries #FirstTheyCame

Code so you can reproduce these trends for yourself: gist.github.com/JEFworks/1f0...

I visualize trends in #ICE #immigration arrests and encounters over time and across select US cities using public data from deportationdata.org/data/ice.html

Here is the #RStats #ggplot code so you can visualize the #dataviz trends in your own city: gist.github.com/JEFworks/0c7...

In this interview, I explain how university research, when funded by independent #NIH #NSF federal grants, brings oversight to biotech to fuel innovation while keeping science transparent, reliable, and in service of the public good: hub.jhu.edu/2025/07/30/j...

#ResearchMatters

Just got my Presidential Early Career Award #PECASE certificate in the mail! 🎉

Grateful for #NSF grants that power our #BiomedicalResearch. Words remind us that federally funded research creates valuable public goods that help us reach our full potential.

In our latest study, we use #spatialtranscriptomics to characterize cold ischemic injury at multiple time points modeling a kidney transplant setting to reveal compartment-specific changes

We identify evidence of off-target probe binding in the 10x Genomics #Xenium v1 Human Breast Gene Expression Panel, compromising the accuracy of resulting #singlecell #spatialtranscriptomics profiles
