Making maps of 📍Madison for the #30DayMapChallenge! For Day 1 “points,” I pulled the street tree dataset from @CityofMadison (HT @mpusto!) and categorized each species by fall foliage color 🍁. Mapped using @UFPlatform #gis #mapdesign #cartography #madewithUF
Map of Madison WI (zoomed in to the downtown area) showing points that represent street trees. The points are colored in shades of red, yellow, orange to indicate the fall foliage color of different tree species.

We (ie. @tobylunt) made a district-level COVID forecast for India: devdatalab.org/covid-forecas… A lot of places are past the peak of the second wave. In a lot of places, case counts are still rising. We show Rt calculated from a model based on Bettencourt and Soman (2020). 🧵1/3
