For her pioneering work in computer science, Grace Murray Hopper ’30 M.A., ’34 Ph.D. has been dubbed the “queen of code” by her biographers. Yet, beneath that crown was the brain of a mathematician, according to an article in Notices of the American...
A group of international experts has developed a much-needed framework to significantly improve the monitoring of status and trends of species worldwide. This finding comes after a multi-year collaboration under the auspices of the Group on Earth...
Like going from a pinhole camera to a Polaroid, a significant mathematical update to the formula for a popular bioinformatics data visualization method will allow researchers to develop snapshots of single-cell gene expression not only several times...
“I don’t want students leaving Yale and going through life with a feeling that everything powered by big data and algorithms is a black box,” said Alan Gerber, dean of social science and the Charles C. & Dorathea S. Dilley Professor of Political...
The International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space, or ICARUS, will be flying closer to the sun than ever when a pair of Russian cosmonauts installs the antennae for its state-of-the-art animal tracking system on the exterior of the...
Big data is getting bigger. By 2025, genomics will have surpassed astronomy, Twitter, and YouTube to become the largest data-generating enterprise by far. What began 65 years ago when Watson, Crick, and Franklin unlocked the double helix of DNA has become...
