Lesson #108
As we head into a monumentally critical election, permit me to share with you the story of L. (Lawrence) Douglas Wilder, the first-ever candidate for which I ever voted after turning eighteen (which I guess makes it pretty easy to deduce my current age).  Born in Richmond, Virginia in 1931, Wilder began his education in a racially segregated elementary school.  In 1951 he graduated from Virginia Union University and then served in the Korean War, where he earned a Bronze Star.  After the war he graduated from Howard University Law School and later established his own firm: Wilder, Gregory and Associates.
In 1969 Wilder was elected to a seat on the Virginia state legislature, the first Black person to do so in that state since Reconstruction.  He retained that seat for 16 years and was then elected Lieutenant Governor of Virginia in 1985.  In 1989 he ran for Governor and narrowly won (50.2% of the vote), becoming the U.S.'s first-ever elected Black governor --and in a Southern state, no less.  A Democrat but holding a reputation as a "fiscal conservative," Wilder's time in office was mostly unremarkable, highlighted by gun control and transportation initiatives --the latter involving a successful lobbying of Congress to allocate federal highway money to serve the explosive residential and office growth in Northern Virginia in the early 1990s.  In May 1990 Wilder ordered state agencies and universities to divest themselves of any investments in South Africa because of its policy of apartheid, making Virginia the first Southern state to take such an action.
Wilder did declare his candidacy for the 1992 Democratic Party presidential nomination, but shortly withdrew before the primaries began.  As Virginia limits its governors to single terms, Wilder left office in 1994.  In 2004 he was elected mayor of his beloved Richmond, serving in that role until 2008.
Governor Wilder's extremely narrow victory in 1989 brings me back to a fundamental point: if you have not already done so by mail or through early voting, please make sure you get to the polls this coming Tuesday.  I'm not underselling it when I say that democracy itself is very much on the line here --not just in Mr. Wilder's beloved state of Virginia but everywhere.  Make sure you are registered, make a plan --AND a backup plan-- to get to your local polling place this Tuesday, and vote. 
Don't let anyone scare, intimidate, or disillusion you from doing so.  It really is that important.  Thank you my friends.

Data science opening doors to real-world impact
Juliette Gudknecht is an analytical type who likes to solve problems.
Majoring in physics was an obvious and fitting choice for her at Bloomsburg University. Then she discovered how mathematics could be used to solve real-world problems.
And her sights were set.
“I took one computer science class and fell in love with programming,” says Gudknecht, a mathematics and physics dual major who plans to pursue a master’s degree in data science and become a data scientist. “I’ve always been fascinated with science, specifically astronomy. I had the same mindset most do — that (astro) physics would be too hard to pursue, or that I was bad at math. I decided to just go for it and work hard.”
That grit and determination has led to a lengthy resume of internships, summer programs, and research opportunities to include two years of analyzing NASA telescope data. All done semesters ahead of graduating next summer.
Her latest endeavors involve interning with the U.S. Department of State working on a machine learning neural network algorithm for visa applications and assisting Authentic Social as a consultant intern, leveraging her data science skills with sales analytics and improving their social media strategies.
“I love it,” Gudknecht says. “It's a great change of pace from previous internships and class projects. I’m getting real-world experience and fostering connections to advance my career.”
Networking and real-world impact have been Gudknecht’s calling, a common thread to her vast list of out-of-classroom experiences that have included projects with Princeton, Stanford and Old Dominion universities, and most recently her machine learning internship with the federal state department.
“Basically, I’m using mass amounts of data to train the computer to work on its own,” Gudknecht says. “This involves using information for visa applications and automating some of the processes, so we can catch things better and improve our national security. It's a super fun internship! I’ve made many connections already (with) other universities, tech companies, and federal agencies.”
Gudknecht got an earlier taste of machine learning — a branch of data science that involves building algorithms from a math model based on sample data — this past spring helping Geisinger Medical Center during the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I was very happy to help out,” says Gudknecht in creating machine learning algorithms from Geisinger’s (COVID-19) data to predict the curve of cases. “It’s made me very motivated to tackle real-world problems. I also found a love for healthcare informatics. I think it’s awesome I could make a difference and save lives through data science.”
Her methodic climb through physics and math into data science can be traced back to those single steps she took in gauging her initial interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) as a teen, bringing her to Bloomsburg.
“I've learned mathematical and computational skills that are very transferrable and in high demand on the job market,” Gudknecht says. “I recommend any STEM major who likes to solve problems to look into the data science program at BU. Job prospects look great for data science and the professors are amazing.”
Excited about self-driving cars and voice recognition?
What about researching human behavior using social media? Can you recognize the key features embedded in data?
The field of data science focuses on learning methods to extract meaning and the hidden truth from data. Sound interesting? It really is! It's a combination of techniques and theories from many fields including mathematics, computers science, statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, communication studies and ethics.
Bloomsburg University's data science major equips you to draw conclusions from data, using knowledge of statistical inference, computational technology, data management skills and related theories. Study practical and scientific topics, learning how to carry out analyses of data through the full cycle of the investigative process. Participate in a project-based capstone course that synthesizes the skills and knowledge learned in the various disciplines that encompass data science. BU’s Department of Mathematical and Digital Sciences is ready to help you become a data scientist.
