How to overcome an "existential modeling crisis" as a science researcher, from DSE postdoc @lucialayr.bsky.social:
✅ Define modeling in your own words
✅ Embrace validation
✅ Find allies
✅ Trust in "the modeler's mindset"
✅ Draw from other experts

🛠 GeoJupyter Hackathon Summer 2025, co-hosted by DSE (@schmidtdse.bsky.social) and BIDS at the new AI Futures Lab space
From live-coding + mapping integrations to beginner friendly GIS tutorials, this hybrid hackathon is all about open, reproducible geospatial science.
Day 2 of the #GeoJupyter #Hackathon is under way at DSE (@schmidtdse.bsky.social)! Groups will gather and define challenges. The fun comes in when we start talking about solutions – thinking about tools and looking at other communities for inspiration 🤔💡
