Data science is one of the most sought disciplines in the field of technology due to the rapid growth of data in terms of volume, complexity and velocity. The surging demand of data scientists prompted Nvidia Deep Learning Institute to unveil Accelerated Data Science Teaching Kit for trainers.
The first version of Accelerated Data Science Teaching Kit for qualified trainers was released by NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute on February 2021 to develop the best data science solutions that meets the increased demand for data skillsets.
The kit was co-developed by Polo Chau of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Xishuang Dong from Prairie View A and M University. 
In report published by NVIDIA, Chau stated that: “Data Science unlocks the immense potential of data in solving societal challenges and large-scale complex problems across virtually every domain, from business, technology, science and engineering to healthcare, government and many more.”
The free teaching content will cover essential and cutting-edge topics in data collection and preprocessing, accelerated data science with data visualization, RAPIDS, graph analytics and GPU-accelerated machine learning.
The first version of Accelerated Data Science Teaching Kit module includes: Introduction to Data Science and RAPIDS, Data Collection and Pre-processing, Data Ethics and Bias in Data Sets, Data Integration and Analytics, Data Visualization and Distributed Computing with Hadoop, Hive, Spark and RAPIDS.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...
