NASA and DARPA plans to terraform Mars echo the science fiction saga's narrative. They aim to unlock Mars' water resources, warm its atmosphere, and introduce oxygen-producing bacteria, mirroring the terraforming of Arrakis. Both involve the crucial step of unlocking vast water resources trapped beneath the surface. In Dune, scientists envisage using advanced technology and bioengineering to make Mars habitable.

Wade Fagen-Ulmschneider and Karle Flanagan spent a full day at the Discovery Partners Institute in Chicago. They 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.
