The Malachowsky Hall for Data Science & Information Technology
The University of Florida recently began construction on the Malachowsky Hall for Data Science & Information Technology, a 263,000-sq.-ft. academic building located in the heart of UF s main campus in Gainesville.
The facility will connect students and researchers from across disciplines and create a hub for advances in computing, communication, and cyber-technologies with the potential for profound societal impact.
Anchored by a gift from UF alumnus Chris Malachowsky as well as funding from the state, the new building will provide collaboration space and focus on the application of computing, communication and cyber technologies to a broad spectrum of areas including health care, pharmacology, security, technology development and fundamental science.

New Jersey’s plan places essential workers including school staff in a top tier of people who could receive vaccines in mid-January through February. But it will take time to administer vaccines and, even then, people could still be contagious even if they don t show symptoms.
“If we can get 150 million people vaccinated [in the U.S.], and we can then in the summer hopefully get children vaccinated before school, then maybe next fall we can begin to think about what normal looks like,” said Dr. Lawrence Kleinman, professor of pediatrics at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. “We’re not going to be able to approach that for a sizable length of time.”
Cardiovascular Disease Burden, Deaths Are Rising Around the World
Paper calls for urgent action to combat global burden of CVD through prevention programs and access to emergency care, medications

WASHINGTON (Dec 09, 2020) -
The number of people dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD) is steadily rising, including one-third of all deaths globally in 2019, according to a paper in the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology that reviewed the total magnitude of CVD burden and trends over 30 years around the world. The data reflects an urgent need for countries to establish cost-effective public health programs aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk through modifiable behaviors.

CVD, particularly ischemic heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death around the world and a huge contributor to disability and rising health care costs.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is absolutely awful. Whether he is screaming at reporters asking legitimate questions about his needlessly confusing COVID-19 strategy or yucking it up on CNN with his equally awful baby brother about his cavernous nostrils, he is just terrible.
This doesn’t even take into account his horrible management of the COVID-19 pandemic his state has the second-highest number of deaths per 100,000. Cuomo asked for hospital ships, mobile hospitals, and ventilators and got them all. He squawked about not receiving ventilators while they were sitting in a warehouse waiting to be picked up. Then he didn’t even use the additional beds he’d been given to house COVID-positive patients.
