🌿🌧️ Predicting the extent of invasive Buffelgrass is important for its management. Travis Matlock, a runner-up in the @uazlibraries 2024 #DataVisualization Challenge, in collaboration with the USA NPN, created an informative map that tracks rainfall "events" over a 30-day period to forecast buffelgrass green-up 1–2 weeks in advance. Check out the map here: doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.2570

Thinking of applying to the University of Arizona?

It’s known for sunshine and strong academics, but what if I tell you there’s more to discover beneath the surface? From hidden scholarships to surprising career pipelines and even one of the most underrated programs in the U.S.

But here’s the real kicker: most students overlook #7 on our list, which could be a game-changer. Whether you're applying or transferring, this breakdown spills it all

I got some unfortunate news earlier this month: #UniversityOfArizona has decided to defund the group I work for, @cct-datascience.bsky.social, amidst their continuing budget crisis.

datascience.cct.arizona.edu/ne

It super sucks and means I'll likely have to drop down to 50% in May and I'll be looking for new, better supported, #rseng or #datascience positions, ideally still working with biologists in #rstats in some capacity. Remote or in #Tucson.

Let me know if you know of anything!
