“The beauty of sports, and the beauty of life itself, is the randomness that we can’t predict,” says Davidson expert Tim Chartier. “All these things are art and science. And they’re just as much human psychology as they are statistics,” a data analyst says. The technologically inclined are chasing goals even more complicated than selecting the winners of all 67 matchups in both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments.

In November 2023, Wade Fagen-Ulmschneider and Karle Flanagan presented an intensive workshop on data science to nearly 20 Chicago Public Schools curriculum designers. It was a hit with the attendees, but more than that, it was the latest step in an expanding, multi-year effort to bring data science into the masses. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently projected that employment of data scientists will grow by 36% from 2021 to 2031.

In the 10th straight year, the data science community Kaggle is hosting “Machine Learning Madness.” Traditional bracket competitions are all-or-nothing; participants write one team’s name into each open slot. In 2021, Ford said the model correctly named 66 of the teams in the men’s bracket. He said he used a deep neural network to find patterns of success based on statistics.

The museum of Science and Industry will launch an online site devoted to these unseen treasures from the institution's permanent collection. In the 90 years since Chicago's museum opened its doors in late 1933, the institution has hosted more than 190 million people. The permanent exhibits include present-day favorites, like the full-sized German World War II sub, the Coal Mine, Colleen Moore&#X27's Fairy Castle, an elaborate dollhouse created by the eponymous

Albert Einstein said gravity isn’t a force like we normally think it is, but rather it is a bending of space time. While the theory was published in 1915, researchers would have to wait another 4 years to test out the theory during the total solar eclipse of 1919.
