Create a LinkedIn profile, with links to any projects she may have done. Use the right keywords. Recruiters use this to find and contact people with specific skills. Maybe also take a 2-3 sentences to explain the gap, with a positive spin.

Many universities already have a technology transfer office of some sort, for work done by researchers on staff using university resources. TTOs mostly deal patent management, but sometimes they fund spin-off companies as well. Extending th

Obviously, I do not want people starve or freeze to death. I guess I should have made that more clear? But, the term refugee has a very particular meaning and comes with a particular set of rights, re:the UN. See: http://www.unhc

This article skirts around the critical point that these are not actually refugees. They may have started their journey as a refugee, escaping some horrific conditions in their home country. But then, they traveled through many European saf

Hmm. There are many reasons why you might not want to relocate to the US, but car culture should not be one of them. Depending on the city, it is entirely possible (nay, often preferable) to live without a car. See https://www.wa

No. The last paragraph of the article: "The majority of the population can not learn to code at all, no matter how much training they receive. I doubt very much if the plethora of quick learn-to-code courses will have any impact at all

O.o This is exactly what I needed to keep me going in the final stretch of this computer graphics course I am taking. Final in 2 days, was starting to feel study-fatigue, but am now reinvigorated!

Hmm, I would disagree. Data Structures and Algorithms, definitely. Linear Algebra, maybe, for certain jobs. Computational Topology? No way. Totally unnecessary unless you are going into academia or a very specific subfield. It is not even s

Sort of. The ascent booster separates from the crew capsule, which basically uses parachutes for its deceleration. For descent of the booster, there will be some fuel requirements, but most of the work should also be done by the parachutes

It doesn't help that Mac books come with 2.7 installed. For someone starting out (Python is often used as a teaching language in CS101-esque classes), figuring out how to get one's machine to use 3 might seem really difficult&#x2F

Yes yes yes. I am from the Chicago burbs and a UIUC engineering alum ('09). Even though I would have preferred to move back to Chicagoland, there were simply not any relevant/compelling jobs in that area, or really anywhere else i

This topic is covered in significantly more depth in his book Thinking Fast and Slow. I highly recommend taking the time to read it, if this article piqued your interest.

The notion of "primitive" cultures, societies, religions etc. has not been taken seriously by anthropologists for decades. His whole argument hinges on theories of cultural relativism from the late 19th and early 20th century. So,

There are some good ideas in here. But, the discussion of "primitive cultures" is so problematic that it undermines my ability to take him seriously.

Before we really understood x-rays and before ultrasound, x-ray was used to scan pregnant women. Not surprisingly, this resulted in many tragic birth defects and miscarriages, before researchers and doctors figured out what was going on. Of

This. It is like that old adage, "Behind every great man, there is a great woman." For the modern era, it should perhaps now be, "behind every top-tier university student, there is a helicopter parent". It takes so much

OK, maybe that was a bad example, but it also wasn't the point. If you do a connectome mapping for one particular purpose, the ability to analyze that mapping data for many other (perhaps more insidious) purpose seems like a real probl

I wonder how future research will be affected by this. Say every child gets their connectome mapped when they start school to get placed in the best type of learning environment for them (auditory, visual etc.). Presumably, within the data

Yes, this is a real problem! I learned testing in a waterfall environment (basically followed IEEE standards, ISQTB processes) and now work at a company that is more Agile. So many of the skills/techniques are fundamentally incompatibl

It was bizarre that the article did not mention trends in other behaviours that effect weight, like sleep and stress level. Millenials are arguably more stressed out than people the same age a generation ago, due to increased student loan d
