Building on the successful scientific computing training program offered by the Software Carpentry (http://www.software-carpentry.org/), the proposed course exposes students in science, engineering, and planning to the best practices in scientific computing through hands-on lab sessions and aims to help students tackle the challenge of "drinking from a hose" when dealing with overwhelming amount of data that is increasingly common in these disciplines. Although computing is now an integral part… Read More

E-scooters are an emerging micromobility transportation option with implications on transportation systems and public health. To date, most research on public health and E-Scooters has focused on safety implications. Health implications other than injuries are likely, but there has been no investigation to date of e-scooter impacts on chronic disease. For example, there is some indication that e-scooters are replacing some auto trips with about a third of users self-reporting the trip would… Read More
