Sharing #Philippines beauty via my latest package {palettephines} on CRAN. These palettes anchor to BBCH & Reef Health standards.

3 years in public office taught me that viz must be both statistically and culturally relevant to my people.

Not a replacement for LISA/Moran’s I in EDA, but a domain-specific layer.

πŸš‚ Looking forward to attending #EGU26 next week and contributing several works on spatial prediction and machine learning.

If you are attending, I would be glad to connect and discuss related work -- feel free to reach out.

@robyn I wish there were a few more senior spatial data analyst jobs out there. Especially ones that used #rspatial and not esri.

Good luck with your search.

In osrm.backend v0.3, I am sharing more improvements that I made for myself with the R community: improved handling of multiple OSRM servers running in parallel, support for latest v26 of OSRM binaries and also brand new shiny app GUI based on `mapgl` https://www.ekotov.pro/osrm.backend/ #rspatial #rstats

Reminder: early registration for useR! 2026 closes 20 April 2026.

Looking forward to sessions across R, data science, and spatial analysis 🌍
