A highlight of this summer: supervising Elise Corbin (UofT) and Abdulmohseen Al Ali (KAUST) during their Summer Undergraduate Data Sciences program at @uoftdsi.bsky.social. They did amazing expanding `piccard`—a Python package we've been developing—and prepared a fantastic presentation and poster!

Made this map of the #Ciclovia in #Bogota using the #RStats function I wrote to rotate maps using ad-hoc oblique Mercator projections.

Created a quick function to rotate maps in #RStats. Helpful for mapping cities that are usually represented with an angled North--e.g., Toronto maps are usually tilted 15ish degrees to align the map borders with the grid.
