3 things I wish I knew earlier about using Airtable
It took me two days to build a simple form on Airtable to collect data and match people based on certain criteria, essentially creating many-to-many relationships between two sets of people. If I had known these three things I would have finished this project in a few hours.

Understanding the Basics of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been some of the hottest topics around for close to a decade now. If it’s hot it’s got to be worth learning about, am I right? Get it, ‘learning’ about? Learning used to be something that only human beings and some non-human animals could do. Those days are over my friend, now even machines can learn! Read on if you want to ‘learn’ more. Oops, there I go again, LOL!

Genetic Engineering
Concerns about the unethical and unsafe use of genetic engineering arose with the advent of genetic engineering and DNA technology combined in the 1970s due to a lack of understanding and knowledge of these technologies. A well-known example is the early use of combined DNA technology to produce genetically modified organisms. In the 1980s, there was a debate as to whether the new mutants created by genetic DNA research could be considered patented, but the US Department of Agriculture approved the sale of the first genetically modified organism, a virus used as a synthetic vaccine, from a single gene in -1986.

To Current or Aspiring Graduate Students
One of the most mentally difficult periods of my life is being made worse by feeling like a huge cliché. We have all heard the memes of a “quarter-life crisis”, the slightly less famous cousin of the universally acknowledged mid-life crisis. And yet here I am, in my late twenties, mentally paralyzed by the single thought: “Am I really doing what I want in life?”

5 Essential Resources for Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are the frontline of our healthcare system. As such, they play a significant role in determining what level of care their patients receive and how well it is coordinated. Hospitals and outpatient clinics need to be able to rely on their HCPs to provide accurate information.

Data Access, Clinical Trials, & Why They’re Essential
This article was previously published on Dr. James Goydos' Medium. The phrase “data is the new oil” is one that has taken on a life of its own since the phrase was first coined by mathematician Clive Humby in 2006. A subject of debate since its initial discussion, its premise remains mostly the same, and relevant today.

Building Next Generation Education Institution with Microsoft Apps
One vertical which will continue to grow as time passes with most modern technologies and facilities is the education sector. Whether physical classroom sessions or online education, the fee payment for the same and related activities are to be carried out. To do this, a very systematic process is required, starting from investing in a strong human capital to a proper Supply Chain management system as it involves a variety of items even involving import.

An Unexpected Encounter with the Great Blue Heron
I first spotted the bird from a distance of roughly 10 meters as I floated in the water. The water was calm, but a slight current on the surface drifted my watercraft closer to the bank. It was not strong enough to have any real sway, so I stopped paddling and paused to watch the bird. I was on a lake, in a quiet corner, with a public dock at one end behind me, and another private-island dock a bit closer, on my left, where my friends were currently diving into the water. You could still hear their faint voices and laughter as they horsed around and took turns jumping off the dock. From where I had now drifted, the surface of the water had carried their voices over...

Why you shouldn't become a UX Designer
I'll preface this by saying UX is a great field. There’s a lot of potential to grow as a person, a creative and problem solver. That being said, I’ve been thinking a lot more about why some people probably shouldn't work in this industry.

Robotics Just Is
Anyone who has met me has heard my STEM story. Some people could probably retell it word for word better than myself at this point. I don't tell my story for the sake of personal notoriety but to specifically bring to light several major issues that continuously get pushed to the shadows, and here we are again.
