A year to the day since I was down at OS HQ last for my PhD, and now I'm in Leeds for the @GeospatialC & @OrdnanceSurvey PSGA Conference representing @N_landCouncil #GCxPSGA23

Travelled with @TfL using @GooglePay earlier in week. @GooglePay was setup using a now expired @LloydsBank card. Added new card to @TfL and journey history was there - went back after removing my old card that @TfL flagged as expired to find my journey history missing!! Help pls!

Been a while but it's great to finally be back in Southampton for the "annual" (thanks covid) @OrdnanceSurvey Research Workshop! Looking forward to presenting my recent PhD work tomorrow on improving privacy in CV analysis and ethics in geospatial research. @GeospatialNCL

I've missed a few days of the #30DayMapChallenge, so I've decided to quickly combine a few. Here's a bad map (#Day10), emphasising why scale (#Day12) is appropriate, showing two red (#Day11) points 5 mins (#Day13) walk apart, with OpenStreetMap (#Day8) background mapping.

#Day3 is #Polygons in the #30DayMapChallenge! Once again using #OpenData from @CityofYork & @OrdnanceSurvey, I've mapped how many bus stops each ward in York has. I should add, all these maps so far have been created using #QGIS, so it's open all the way from data to processing!

Next up is #Day2 of the #30DayMapChallenge - #Lines! This time I've mapped the numbering system of the UK Road Network. Did you realise that motorways and A roads used different, albeit it similar, systems? This uses #OpenData that @transportgovuk derived from @OrdnanceSurvey!

A little late to the party, but this weekend I thought I'd try and do a few of the #30DayMapChallenge challenges! First up is #Day1 where I've mapped Emergency #Points on the River Ouse in York, taking advantage of some of the #OpenData made available by @CityofYork.

Our calculations have discovered the three 'norths' will combine for the first time in history this week🧭 True north, magnetic north and grid north will combine at a single point - starting at Langton Matravers, a village just west of Swanage #3Norths

I just want to point out that this is not the fault of staff working furiously to control the longest queue in England. This is happening entirely because What3Words is error-prone by design. Anyone can and will make these mistakes when communicating w3w addresses verbally

The first location they shared was for SAME.VALVE.GRID. 10 mins later this was updated to SAME.VALUE.GRIT. Those take you to California and Uxbridge. Meanwhile, they shared the correct location on here, which was SAME.VALVE.GRIT. Presumably it's being passed on verbally.

Some of you may be aware that I'm not a massive fan of @what3words, and rightly question why that is. One of the reasons is that it's far too easy to share the wrong location! Of the locations @DCMS have shared in their YouTube queue tracker, 4 out of 10 of them have been wrong.

It was great to have the opportunity to present at the @RGS_IBG Annual International Conference this afternoon, exploring practical ethics and privacy improvement methods within computer vision analysis in the geospatial domain! @GIScience_RGS #ethics #privacy – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

Exciting to have been unexpectedly longlisted in the National Societies and Volunteering Awards for the collaboration between Newcastle & Durham @SSAGO_UK clubs to put on Viking Rally back in November! @NewcastleSU

Proud to be the Treasurer of this amazing society 💙💛 – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England
Students Supporting the Ukraine Crisis Newcastle University Wind Band held "A Musical Feast" and they raised a grand total of £620, in aid of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, with donations going via British Red Cross. #NUSUOurImpact #UkraineCrisis

To finish I just want to say thank you to all the keynote speakers, session chairs, session speakers, fellow reviewers, panellists, ECR team, etc. and most importantly the organisers (@CaitHRobin & @Dr_Col_Nieves) for making the conference so amazing!
3
I hoped the ECR sessions on post-PhD life & careers, etc., might help me with the staying in academia vs going into industry dilemma - whilst it hasn't given me the answer, there was lots of great info!

Not only does being in-person make it much easier to communicate & makes a nice change from staring at a screen all day, but also eliminates a lot of the tech issues - having seen one of the #GISRUK2022 keynotes (@geogale) present in a webinar just now, I suspect they'd agree! 😅
