COLUMN | AI, deep learning, autonomous vehicles and the future
What is the common factor between taking a hot shower in the winter, getting a ride on Uber, and talking to Alexa? Deep learning, and our ever-increasing dependence on machines! These things have become all so commonplace that we may have even stopped to think about what makes all this possible.

COLUMN | On 'becoming' in pandemic times
One summer, back when I was a boy, I started fishing every morning with my friends. We would take our simple rods and reels down to a neighborhood pond and fish for bluegill and sunfish. Mostly we would catch them and let them go. Then, one day we decided that we wanted to eat what we caught, and so we brought to our respective homes a good mess of bluegill. As I recall, my family wasn't too excited about the prospect of the meal that lay before us that evening, but they seemed proud of me. I remember my grandfather showing me how to clean a fish. I thought it was nasty work but I did it and I remember him saying, "Well, now you are a fisherman."

The doctor will see you now
"You're 24-years-old. You really need to find a primary care doctor," my wife said.
"But, there's nothing wrong with me," I responded. "Why go get something I don't need?"
