A clip of our work at the @geodatascience.bsky.social on human mobility, geographic data science, cities & skills delivered through our MSc programme youtu.be/VexTtsv2p7o

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...)

A new paper shows that british universities face a potential funding crisis by 2030, as the number of international undergraduate students is expected to stagnate or decline. www.demogr.mpg.de/go/UKstuMobility Ruth Neville Emilio Zagheni Geographic Data Science Lab UCL University of Liverpool

The first London Universities Population Seminar of 2026 is tomorrow! Francisco Rowe (@fcorowe.bsky.social) is joining us to present his work "Correcting Distorted Human Population Data from Mobile Phone Location Data" Tomorrow 13.00 at LSE, CON.1.01.

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...

In “Impacts of COVID-19 on Internal Population Movements,” M Gonzalez-Leonardo, @fcorowe.bsky.social et al. used Facebook mobility data to show that contrary to the Global North, “Mexico did not see an urban exodus during the pandemic." @geodatascience.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

Back from a great trip to Australia 🇦🇺. Presented at the #IPC2025, shared our DEBIAS work on human mobility📱and revisited my PhD home at UQ. Delivered seminars at UQ and Griffith University—fantastic discussions on mobility, data science & climate change. More on DEBIAS 👉 de-bias.github.io/debias/

@sdruk.bsky.social announced the formation of a new taskforce to address challenges researchers face in accessing data from digital platforms. Find out how you can get involved: bit.ly/3I0PPtU

V happy to see our project DEBIAS with @carmen-cabrera.bsky.social featured by @UKRI_News @SmartDataRes. Mobile phone data have transformed how we understand cities & populations. But they are biased. DEBIAS aims to correct biases in mobility patterns derived from these data. More on DEBIAS 👇
