Now you can upgrade yourself with Accelerated Data Science Teaching Kit for Educators

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.
Content delivery will be through lecture notes, slides, quiz/ exam problem sets and hands-on labs. The tech company plans to include video content in future releases. 

Free Online Data Science Programs

Due to increased demand for data science, some institutions have decided to offer free online data science courses. 
The following institutions offer free learning material for data science: John Hopkins University in collaboration with Coursera (Data Science Crash Course), Alison (Data Science (Revised), Microsoft (EdX) (Data Science and Machine Learning Essentials), Dataquest (Learn Data Science), Harvard (Data Science) and University of Michigan with collaboration with Coursera (Introduction to Data Science with Python).

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...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why World Tycoons Should Emulate Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, in the Battle against Climate Change

The silent biggest global pandemic is global warming. Global problem deserves global attention; and that is why world moguls and leaders should use their influence to initiate change that can positively impact the world. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has consistently advocated for environment conservation and has been a key personality in the battle against climate change . Gates keen focus has been to increasing access to clean electricity in remote parts of the world. As a key defender of the environment, he is quoted by the Guardian saying that: “The idea of adding new electricity capacity- you can’t just go build coal plants.” The Guardian reported that Gates likes using private jets because he can get affordable fuel for flight. He revealed that he has already footed the bill of carbon footprint to a group dubbed Climeworks , a firm that captures up direct air in Iceland. Gates pointed out that the future of vehicles travels lie with electric cars; but excluded the el...
