We founded a "humanities data science" summer program for undergraduate students here at UW. And it’s been a blast!
Thanks to @ischool.uw.edu for this nice write-up about the program, which recently wrapped up its third summer. Students are the best.

Items on table including samples of seaweed in petri dishes and blocks of concrete.
A researcher presses cement into one of three metal molds. Three petri dishes containing seaweed samples sit on the table next to the molds.
A researcher in safety glasses observes a small cement cube sandwiched between two metal discs in an industrial-looking machine.
Cement is the 2nd most-used material on Earth after water and is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.
Could Seaweed-infused cement help reduce concrete’s carbon footprint?
