CS+Social Good utilizes technology to make a positive social impact

Last fall, Lawrence Lin Murata was sitting in CS 103: Mathematical Foundations of Computing, when he heard Keith Schwarz, lecturer in computer science, say something that would change the course of his path at Stanford: No campus organizations existed that used computer science to make a positive social impact. It struck a chord.

"I began to wonder," Murata said, "if I could start an organization to empower students and change the mindset of how technology is used."

Stanford conference highlights need for more women and diversity in data science

The rise of big data is visible almost everywhere. Using huge databases too unwieldy for conventional computing, data scientists are extracting insights that change the way we see the world.

From Internet search algorithms to understanding and targeting retail customers, from medical research and health care, financial markets and weather prediction, the new insights available from big data have pushed data science into the top tier of cutting-edge research.
