Whether you’re munching on hot Cheetos or downing a Monster at 1 a.m., it is easy to neglect your diet during finals season. Often we get so caught up in our workload that we skip meals, and when we finally have the time to eat, we reach for comfort foods and skip the salad.

How can we get computers to make decisions like humans? This is one of the foundational questions of neural networks and the rapidly-growing field of artificial intelligence. These research areas rely substantially on large data sets, and that is where the emergence of “big data” has taken place.
The chemistry of how plants absorb light on a sunny day is more complicated than you may have realized.
Effectively communicating important and complex information to the public is not an easy task.

When she is not giving lectures in Epigenetics, Associate Professor of Biology Xin Chen can be found in her laboratory making strides to solve the many mysteries that still exist in the field of epigenetics.
It is certainly not the easiest of tasks to understand humans; however those who dare to venture into such realms should consider the field of anthropology as a way to actualize their pursuits in understanding the qualitative decisions and interactions of individuals in societies.
Hopkins Medicine has long been known as a pioneer in its field. One of its remarkable aspects is its efforts to involve women in the medical field since its establishment.
