    Data science is a multidisciplinary field that combines statistics, computer science, and domain expertise to extract meaningful insights from data. In today's digital era, data is generated at an unprecedented rate, making data science one of the most valuable skills in various industries. From healthcare to finance, businesses leverage data science to improve decision-making, optimize processes, and drive innovation. 
    At its core, data science follows a structured approach that includes data collection, cleaning, exploration, modeling, and interpretation. The first step in any data science project is acquiring relevant data. This data can come from multiple sources, such as databases, APIs, or even social media. Once collected, it often requires cleaning, as raw data may contain errors, inconsistencies, or missing values that can impact the accuracy of analyses. 
    After cleaning, exploratory data analysis (EDA) helps uncover patterns, trends, and relationships within the data. Visualization techniques, such as charts and graphs, make it easier to understand complex datasets. EDA also aids in feature selection, a crucial step in preparing data for machine learning models. Machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, allows computers to learn from data and make predictions. Common machine learning techniques include supervised learning, where models learn from labeled data, and unsupervised learning, which identifies hidden patterns without predefined labels.

    Medications such as Vioxx and procedures such as vertebroplasty for back pain are among the medical "advances" that turned out to be dangerous or useless. What Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad and Dr. Adam S. Cifu call medical reversal happens when doctors start using a medication, procedure, or diagnostic tool without a robust evidence base—and then stop using it when it is found not to help, or even to harm, patients.In Ending Medical Reversal, Drs. Prasad and Cifu narrate fascinating stories from every corner of medicine to explore why medical reversals occur, how they are harmful, and what can be done to avoid them. They explore the difference between medical innovations that improve care and those that only appear to be promising. They also outline a comprehensive plan to reform medical education, research funding and protocols, and the process for approving new drugs that will ensure that more of what gets done in doctors' offices and hospitals is truly effective.

    Empiricism - Knowledge Through...

    Empiricism, as a philosophical doctrine, asserts that knowledge is primarily derived from sensory experience. This perspective contrasts sharply with rationalism, which emphasizes reason and innate knowledge. Empiricism has shaped our understanding of the world and influenced numerous fields, from the natural sciences to ethics and epistemology. The essence of empiricism lies in the conviction that the mind begins as a "blank slate" (tabula rasa) and that experience, rather than pre-existing ideas or concepts, forms the foundation of all knowledge. 
    At the heart of empiricist thought is the belief that all human knowledge starts with perception. We acquire information about the world through our senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—which provide the raw data from which we form concepts and beliefs. For empiricists, knowledge is not something we discover internally, but something we gather from external reality. This view stands in contrast to the rationalist emphasis on a priori knowledge, which is independent of experience and accessible only through reason. 
    Empiricism's roots can be traced back to ancient philosophy, with early proponents like Aristotle, who argued that all knowledge comes from sensory observation. However, the modern development of empiricism is largely credited to three major figures: John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume. Locke introduced the idea of the mind as a tabula rasa, arguing that individuals are born without innate ideas and that all knowledge comes from experience. Berkeley took this further by suggesting that even the existence of the external world depends on perception, encapsulating the notion that "to be is to be perceived." Hume, the most radical empiricist of the three, questioned the very basis of causality and inductive reasoning, asserting that our beliefs in cause-and-effect relationships were not rationally justified but arose from habitual experience.

    Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
     
     
     
    In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
     
     
     
    From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
     
     
     
    ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
     
     
     
    ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
     
     
     
    ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
     
     
     
    This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.
