The National Science Foundation Institute for Geospatial Understanding through an Integrative Discovery Environment (I-GUIDE) brings together data and domain expertise to build infrastructure as well as facilitate research and education. I-GUIDE Virtual Consulting Office is hosting a webinar to introduce their R Spatial Notebook Series. The R Spatial Notebook series is a new tool built in the I-GUIDE platform which leverages the extensive IPUMS data repository to support the development and implementation of reproducible geospatial data science workflows for social science researchers. During the webinar Dr. Vavra-Musser will introduce the project and goals, present a live demonstration of the notebooks, and be available to answer any questions. Learn more about the webinar and register to join.

10:00am-11:30am CT

About IPUMS Virtual Office Hours: Virtual Office Hours are held quarterly and are a chance to connect IPUMS data experts with IPUMS data users to get their questions answered in a setting similar to a conference exhibit hall, but in an online format. The goal is to provide regular opportunities for face-to-face, personalized support from data experts in a casual atmosphere.
