Climate change and land-use change have made uncontrolled and extreme wildfires one of the most serious threats to every continent on the globe, except Antarctica. That their flames contribute massively to the global climate crisis is a double whammy.
“This needs to be solved in the next decade if we want to avoid ecological devastation,” said Istvan Kereszy, Ph.D., the CEO and co-founder of Fire Neural Network (FNN).

“Our research is designed to help the industry identify vulnerabilities, so they can improve the security of their products for the customers and reduce the potential for phone-hacking,” said Shuo Wang, the UF electrical and computer engineering professor who led the team. “In other words, we’re looking for the weaknesses.”
While the threat isn’t realized just yet, Wang’s goal is to stay ahead of any would-be hackers and help manufacturers prevent the problem before it starts. Learn how UF teams are getting ahead of this threat. ➡️ https://news.ufl.edu/2023/02/invisible-finger-phone-hacking/

As a graduate student, Waisome didn't receive the advising that she had hoped for and this experience isn't uncommon. She attributes her success to her mentors, and she now strives to offer a community of mentors to students so they too can achieve their full potential.
Dr. Waisome also highlighted the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) as being a great resource for student exposure to the engineering field. Without this organization, many students wouldn't consider engineering as an option.

New research has found that many products on Amazon have used deceptive marketing practices to raise prices while pretending to offer a discount.
More than a quarter of vacuum cleaners sold on Amazon have at some point pretended to offer a discount when they had actually just increased the price. Other sellers have used this deceptive pricing practice anywhere from 3% of the time for books to more than 13% of the time for blenders, digital cameras and drones.

Now, in his eighth and final year as university president, President Fuchs leaves behind a legacy of unprecedented success and impact. Under his leadership, UF rose to a top-five public university ranking, launched an AI initiative, hit record research and fundraising milestones and embarked on the most ambitious projects yet.
Throughout it all, his presidency has been as fun as it has been far-reaching. Amid the remarkable climb, he organized April Fools' Day jokes, chauffeured golf cart rides, stopped for selfies and surprised parents on the phone with their students — always making time for purposeful fun.
As he prepares to transition out of this role and back to teaching, read more on this inspirational era: fal.cn/thanksprez
Thank you, President Fuchs, for your warmth, humor and dedication to Gator Nation. 🧡 💙
