How do we increase resources? Well we provide scholarships for low resource settings to enable as many people as possible to develop the skills we need. We’ll be announcing our scholarship programme for 2025 very soon! Watch this space.

We reduce barriers to knowledge and increase resources. For knowledge, we run training courses on R but soon to be so much more, we also made the EpiRhandbook to give knowledge of how to do critical tasks with R to anyone.

So if you're curious about GIS or just starting with spatial epi data? Check out Chapter 28 for a deep dive into concepts, code, and examples: www.epirhandbook.com/en/new_pages...

And don’t forget to experiment with mapview. Probably the easiest map you'll ever make.

Under the hood of mapview is Leaflet rstudio.github.io/leaflet/. Which is a bit more complex but a lot more powerful. In the chapter, we guide you through how to:

📂 Load spatial data
🗺️ Create static maps
🌐 Build interactive maps
📊 Perform basic spatial analyses

Our personal favourite flextable feature: colour-coding cells to highlight content.

🔴 Values too high?
🟢 Numbers on target?

Ideal for sitreps to quickly draw eyes to key stats!

For me the best modern equivalent of the Logseq software logseq.com chuck all the messy ideas and thoughts into this and allow them to change over time then let it help me parse the mess.

Love it!
