New enterprise software investments can lead to big benefits for firms by enabling business process innovations, but implementation is notoriously difficult. Having IT professionals with the right combination of both technical and business process knowledge is critical to a quick and successful adoption. When the company does not have the required expertise in-house, it may have to turn to consultants for help or hire workers who have acquired the skill elsewhere. Now companies are also getting help from informal channels—such as online knowledge communities—for free.

This past semester, students in Professor Jordana Saggese's seminar Blackness in Relief, successfully proposed and have curated the exhibition RINGGOLD | SAAR: Meeting on the Matrix, which opens January 26th at the David C. Driskell Center.

A University of Maryland-led team of scientists has deciphered the first comprehensive, continuous genome for a parasite responsible for transmitting Lyme disease and other serious infections to hundreds of thousands of Americans yearly. With their newly described genome for the black-legged tick, or deer tick, the researchers identified thousands of novel genes and new protein functions, including proteins associated with tick immunity, disease transmission and developmental stages.

One of the most exciting applications of quantum computers will be to direct their gaze inwards, at the very quantum rules that make them tick. Quantum computers can be used to simulate quantum physics itself, and perhaps even explore realms that don’t exist anywhere in nature.
