Yes, I more or less stole the above header from a NY Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/24/science/hibernation-spring-bears-bees-bats-arctic-squirrels.html) as I needed a tag line to express how coming back from a long dormant period feels. The time since the last post was mainly filled with finishing building the house, and making it livable (last piece of resistance is the garden), lots of the normal work-work, and for the last few months of course the very sad corona-situation that blocked and changed a lot of things too.
Now the time has come to start doing some more data exercises again, preferably geospatial but I won’t refuse to take up other data challenges too, like linked data (wrote a short post on that a while ago at LinkedIn, mmh need to follow up on that one too).
I guess the first thing to come is some data exploration in the coming week. Stay tuned, I promise I won’t fall asleep that long again.
By the way, the NY Times article might be picked less random than it seems. I’ll use it to link to some of the latest work that Sensing Clues has done recently together with Rewilding Europe on a pilot project in the Central Apennines to predict bear behaviour, read all about it at https://rewildingeurope.com/news/pilot-project-in-the-central-apennines-looks-to-predict-bear-behaviour/
