When will residential solar power reach half the United States?

For Climate Month I thought I’d research something on the positive side of the equation. My last two climate posts were a bit gloomy, as they focused on greenhouse gasses and ocean acidification. Instead we’re going to tackle a product adoption issue related to the climate: When might the United

Visualizing shots, goals, players and more with SAS

These are incredibly tough times, and fortunately, everyone I know is still healthy, safe and doing everything they can to stay that way. I know I'm lucky -- the worst I've suffered so far under coronavirus stay-at-home orders is sports withdrawal. I'm trying to fill that void in my life

Past, present and future ... it's always been about data management

Data management has never been the shiny object that caught the imagination of the mainstream.

Why are fewer women getting computer science degrees?

While I am a woman in computer science, let me start by saying that I’m a reluctant coder. I have an eye for data but find the abstract nature of many computer languages to be very challenging and not something I typically love. My first experience with coding was in

50 years of strong, intelligent women

Fifty years ago, as the women’s liberation movement was gaining momentum in the U.S., my maternal great-grandmother, Pearl, worked in a factory sewing American flags while volunteering with the Girl Scouts and caring for her grandchildren. My paternal grandmother, Greta, also worked in local factories while caring for her family.

Breast milk, babies, NCSU students and SAS/OR

I'm a planner, and my plan was to have a completely natural birth and to breast feed only. This plan was written in stone (or so I thought). Long story short – my birthing plan flew out the window. One of my complications was very high blood pressure, which refused

Why analytic interoperability matters in health care

Let’s face it. Data sharing between platforms in health care just isn’t easy. Patient data privacy concerns, incompatible file formats, asynchronous identifiers … I’ve heard it all. From the electronic health record (EHR), picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) to discrete processes like pharmacy or departmental information systems, achieving some
