Epi Info™
What is Epi Info™? Physicians, nurses, epidemiologists, and other public health workers lacking a background in information technology often have a need for simple tools that allow the rapid creation of data collection instruments and data analysis, visualization, and reporting using epidemiologic methods. Epi Info™, a suite of lightweight software tools, delivers core ad-hoc epidemiologic functionality without the complexity or expense of large, enterprise applications. Epi Info™ is easily used in places with limited network connectivity or limited resources for commercial software and professional IT support. Since its initial release, Epi Info™ users have self-registered in over 181 countries covering all continents including Antarctica. More than one million users are estimated. Epi Info™ is a key component in public health education at colleges, universities, and other schools of public health around the world. How is Epi Info™ Used?

openModeller - Home Supercourse - Epi SuperCourse(SC) is a repository of lectures and research methods materials on global health and other areas of science designed to improve the teaching of prevention and increase number of scientific publications. Supercourse has a network of about 2 million scientists in 174 countries (together with BA African Networks) who are sharing for free a library of more than 203,000 lectures in 33 languages (together with Science Supercourse). The Supercourse has been produced at the WHO Collaborating Center University of Pittsburgh, with core developers Ronald LaPorte, Ph.D., Faina Linkov, Ph.D. and Eugene Shubnikov M.D. Please contact us at supercoursehelp@gmail.com . Supercourse does not grant degrees or certificates, but is designed to be a resource for teachers, professors, and other educators. We were originally funded three times by NASA, and by the National Library of Medicine. An Ode to BA SuperDesk

FrontPage - OpenBUGS Software - Blogs ​Four Skills That Will Turn You Into a Spreadsheet Ninja GIS and Science Kelso I prompted a flurry of PostGIS hate (and some love) on Twitter last week, documented via Storify. I’ve been using PostGIS for around 2 years now both at Stamen and before that at The Washington Post. Let me say upfront that PostGIS is amazing and is definitely in the top 5 best FOSS4G (free and open source software for geo) out there. It is a super powerful spatial data store that is free to download, install, and use (even in commercial projects!). It doesn’t matter how awesome something is unless it’s usable. Besides the specific issues outlined below, PostGIS lacks basic functions required for spatial analysis found in ArcToolbox. @PostGIS asked me for details on how it could be friendlier and I’ve itemized around 20 below. If a project that is considered core to the FOSS4G stack (eg Mapnik, PostGIS, etc), the project needs to act like it. Our servers at Stamen run Ubuntu Linux and we have a variety of them, running different combinations of applications and operating systems. 2.

digital urban | modelling, visualising, sensing and visualising urban environments Insider Story Maps for “Bread and Butter” Applications Story Maps are fun, easy, and informative. Their popularity is documented by the many interesting examples you will find at the Story Maps Gallery. An enduring favorite of mine is not the most sophisticated, or provocative, or one that required … Continue reading Does EarthCube Hold the “Keys to the Kingdom” of Earth Science Data? With all the recent excitement and good hopes over the White House Climate Data Initiative, and the ongoing progress of the Group on Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), there is another huge data initiative that bears mention: EarthCube. I have used the word “initiative” for EarthCube but it has also been described as a vision, as a multi-faceted, multi-layered partnership, and also as a “virtual organization.” Supporting the White House Climate Data Initiative Yesterday the White House announced a Climate Data Initiative that encourages innovation from the private sector and the general public.
