s4 gis institute

Fellow Summer 2015

The GIS Institute is an intensive two-week course focused on visualization, management, and analysis of geographic data. The Institute is a partnership between S4, the Brown University Libraries, EarthLab, and the Population Studies and Training Center. 

This institute was my first formal exposure to a field I would quickly fall in love with and would guide  future research and doctoral ambitions! My first project was naturally very elementary but involved mapping migraine incidence and hospital facilities.
