... Just as sensors and physical computing have revolutionized science and engineering, so too do they offer the potential for students to engage in meaningful scientific inquiry activities in ways that resemble the work of contemporary scientists [2][3][4]. With growing emphasis on providing computer science education to all students [5], these technologies also enable instructional activities that integrate computing in deep and meaningful ways. This is especially true as sensors and microcontrollers drop in price with the rise in home technology hobbyist and maker movements [6]. ...

... The National Academies of Sciences, USA, has specified a set of criteria to assess the usefulness of various metrics of a post-alert feedback gathered from message recipients: coverage, message engagement, action taken, latency and translation effectiveness [47,49]. ...

... Despite an ever-increasing demand for STEM and computer science workers, a concerning number of students in these disciplines leave the field before finishing their degree, sometimes citing discrimination and unwelcome environments [1]. Only around half of students enrolled in these programs actually graduate with the degree [2]. Underrepresented minorities (URM) are disproportionately represented in this group. ...

... The undergraduate curricula that do exist are generally aimed at data science majors [1,8]. Recent work is attempting to generate useful guidelines [7,8,10,34], but data science pedagogy for the general student populace is still in its nascent stages. ...

... Data on the status and condition of ecosystems are needed to identify trends, manage threats, and as a basis for adaptation strategies (Karl et al., 2012;Verstraete et al., 2011). Data-enabled advances include the development of predictive models of ecosystem change (Peck et al., 2019;Peters et al., 2020), seasonal and long-term forecasts (Ash et al., 2007;Dietze et al., 2018), quantitative benchmarks Webb et al., 2020), and decision-support frameworks for assessing management trade-offs and synergies (Musumba et al., 2017). There is now a great opportunity to improve ecosystem research and management through data systems that leverage modern cyberinfrastructure (i.e., networked software and hardware computational systems, servers, and databases; Atkins, 2003) and contemporary data sharing ideals (i.e., findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable [FAIR]; Wilkinson et al., 2016) to aggregate data across communities, interactively connect data to models, and integrate data and models with decision-support tools. ...

... Starting with CHEMKIN-A Chemical Kinetics Software Package, developed by Sandia National Laboratories in the 1960s, standardisation of the kinetic and thermodynamic data format allowed for the widespread use of such software packages for modelling combustion. This was further facilitated by the software being open and made available on the world wide web (an informative historical description can be found by Council [614] and we have also recently reviewed the various databases available online at present [615]). These approaches have allowed experimental and increasingly powerful computational approaches to provide insights into soot formation. ...

... These tools, though, can also have direct negative effects. For example, teams comprised of both in-person and remote workers marginalize the remote members, who may be remote due to family care or other needs (Mortensen & Haas, 2021). Technology-based electronic monitoring threatens to further disadvantage vulnerable worker populations (Ravid et al., 2020(Ravid et al., , 2022. ...

... Since the interviews, phishing sites have adopted to HTTPS Everywhere, and the majority of phishing sites are now SSL enabled according to the Anti Phishing Working Group (APWG) [61]. The purpose of certificates on the web was to authenticate domain names when they were considered critical signposts in cyberspace (to quote the title of the National Academies report [62]). Now, with HTTPS Everywhere, web certificates play less of a role in distinguishing legitimate sites due to the misconception of HTTPS Everywhere. ...

... This data collection system organized job titles into more than 1,102 occupations as of July 2020 and down to 1016 occupational listings as of June 2021 [3]. As more workers seek to enter the cybersecurity labor force or think of themselves as cybersecurity professionals based on their roles, experience, and specific expertise, some seek activities related to professionalization leading to certifications [4]. Certifications can be driven by an employer's needs and requirements or by the government objectives to manage the workforce and establish a baseline for technical skills verifying federal workforce knowledge through standard certification [5] or to incorporate specific activities, occupations, and work roles into its operations [6]. ...

... Very large-scale text data management and analysis has been one of the frontiers for current and future research (Council, 2016) due to the availability of millions of documents in digital libraries, such as MEDLINE/PubMed (Karami et al., 2019a), and billions of comments and posts in social media such as Facebook and Twitter discussing different issues such as health (Karami and Shaw, 2019;Karami et al., 2018b), organizations (Karami and Collins, 2018), politics (Karami and Elkouri, 2019), and natural disasters (Karami et al., 2019b). While these large datasets provide extremely useful and valuable resources for researchers, there is a need to develop new approaches for processing high dimensional data. ...
