Reproduction Study Discussion

Through reproducing Tuholske et al. study, I learned about study design, working with climate raster and carceral facility data, iteration of data anlysis on large, multi-file datasets, and more!

While we were unable to replicate the full study, I was able to achieve a grasp of the exploratory study design, new r packages and techniques, and best practices for open science.

Most importantly, however, are the friends we made along the way. Big thank you to Sam Barnard for working with me on this project. Additionally, we had the opportunity to poke around the author’s website and learn about other collaborations and researchers in the field of geospatial science and public health.
