7 years ago, on a ski marathon, Rein Ahas, our research group leader and close friend, did not make it. With great sadness but deep gratitude for all the inspiration and support he gave us as a friend and colleague, we memorised him today with #MobilityLab members. We continue the work he started!

What a great pleasure it was to take part and present at @digigeolab.bsky.social 15 years anniversary. Kudos to @tuulitoivonen.bsky.social for leading such a brilliant group of researchers. 🤩
Next up @janikaraun.bsky.social, alumni of @digigeolab.bsky.social is presenting her work on examining #multilocal living in the Nordics and Finland. She used electricity consumption and transactional data to understand the changes in population presence in municipalities during COVID-19.
