Applications are now open for the DEBIAS Workshop and Symposium, taking place on 7–8 July 2026 at the @liverpooluni.bsky.social The event is centred on a methodological question: how digital mobility data can be used more credibly when issues of bias/representativeness remain unresolved.

Who is missing from the map? Our first DEBIAS paper with @carmen-cabrera.bsky.social finds that more mobile data don’t guarantee better representation. Assess before you infer. (doi.org/10.1098/rsos...) (de-bias.github.io/debias/stori...)

Making hidden biases visible in population location data from mobile phones

Abstract. Traditional sources of population data, such as censuses and surveys, are costly, infrequent and often unavailable in crisis-affected regions. Mo

1/ Internal displacement is hard to measure, esp. in the early phase of a crisis when operational decisions must be made with limited info. Our recent work explores whether privacy-preserving GPS mobility data can contribute to short-term displacement estimation. Paper: doi.org/10.1057/s415...
