Sharing the fourth and final paper of my #PhD: 'Urban biodiversity and adolescent mental health and well-being'. Published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology #JEVP.

Here is the paper:

I've just released a new version of the {rmapshaper} 📦 on CRAN. This is a fairly major release, with lots of changes under the hood, but minimal user-facing changes:
