Just arrived in Chennai to be at the NISAR satellite launch this evening from Satish Dhawan Space Centre as a NASA guest. I'm so honored to see this monumental collaboration between NASA and ISRO! science.nasa.gov/mission/nisar/

I'm so excited for this! Being able to preview work-in-progress directly in Jupyter without 'bouncing' to QGIS.

Went to Misinfocon yesterday. Haven't been to an event like this in Bangalore for so long! Learnt so much about what people are building to mitigate and educate around cyber scams, deep fakes and general lack of trust.

There are a lot of things happening that are out of my control. One thing I can do is give my time towards something where I can meaningfully contribute. That is what motivated me to run for the @osmus.bsky.social Board. You can read my statement here: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundat...

I sat down with @geospatial.money to discuss #LAfires and disaster response. TL;DR we invest $10s of billions in building, launching, and operating EO satellites. Isn't it time we allocate just 1% of that to improving user access, open data, tools, and dissemination? www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOFS...

In response to the fires in the LA area, we saw many maps, tools, and datasets being shared. We created a list of geo-resources to assist responders, researchers, decision-makers, and analysts.

Last week we had a chance to see some of the new galleries at Museo Egizio in Turin with their assistant director. Safe to say museums are ruined for me because it was such an amazing experience. I can't imagine going to another museum without being guided by the person who put it together!
