I was honored to deliver the opening talk at the @GISRUK conference hosted by the @UniversityLeeds, sharing insights of the great work that we at @WorldPopProject at @UoSGeogEnv do and encouraging excellent discussions among fellow GIS enthusiasts.

Excited to be at @GISRUK for #GISRUK2024! So far catering is excellent (priorities), the jokes from @rJBeecham and @GeogWillJ aren't *too* cringey, and the Keynote from @NatuTejedor has highlighted the challenges of population data! Much for thought (figuratively and literally!)

17 years ago I sat in this very same lecture theatre (slightly hungover) and heard the term 'GIS' for the first time. Today I gave the inaugural lecture to 300+ students on their GIS Masters module - welcome to Leeds everyone! @SoGLeeds #GIS
