“This story is a hard one to write … and may be hard to read.” Adam shares his insight into the politics of academia (“fit the mold or you’re out. Don’t speak up or you’re out”), working as a migrant (“we found barriers to everything everywhere”), and other bumps on his road as a geospatial professional with a PhD.
Read the interview, then share it. Especially if you are securely employed.
Similarly to the 1983 Doubled Die Reverse penny, which lacks a mint mark and because of that is worth about $5,000 today, the 2023 #GeoHipster calendar, in a glaring error, did not mark #Shapefile Day (12/3), and will thus be worth millions in the not-so-distant future.
Will the 2024 calendar repeat the error? Hedge your bets and order multiple copies before it's too late:
An #origami piece I created in many hours some time ago. As the second of its kind it survived a relocation and is now on a wall in my new workplace. The first one had an appearance in the #geohipster calendar.
Consists of around 660 modules of Sonobe units. This time glued together to make it easier to hang up.
Just realised that I missed to hang up the additional island pieces... I'll have to correct that next week.
It's relatively easy to become a Nobel Prize laureate or Time Magazine Person Of The Year (I am both, ask me).
Getting your map in the #geohipster calendar, on the other hand, is a whole other level of achievement. But don't despair. Submit your map for consideration, and you might just make it to the pinnacle of GeoHipster fame.
So geohipster got a refresh over the weekend. The old wordpress theme was starting to break so with the help of Wicked Moon Webs we did a refresh to shake things up a bit. I've got 5 interviews out and hopefully one of them finishes shortly. https://www.geohipster.com#geohipster#gischat
