The first time I met David Moinina Sengeh, he was a college senior studying biomedical engineering. The university president asked him to introduce me at a lecture I was giving, and he charmed the crowd by talking about the ways he and I are similar (we both want people to live healthy, fulfilling lives) and how we’re different (our hairstyles). I remember being blown away by his intellect, his ambition, and his sense of humor. It was clear that David had a bright future ahead of him, but I don’t think anyone could have predicted where he’d end up just a few years later: as Sierra Leone’s first chief innovation officer and youngest ever education minister. David grew up in Bo, the second largest city in Sierra Leone. His uncle was a surgeon, and David would sometimes get to sit in and observe his procedures. David remembers one time when a woman showed up for her surgery only to be turned away. His uncle explained that the hospital where he worked didn’t have an ultrasound machine, and he wasn’t comfortable performing the procedure blind. Just a few hours later, during a different procedure, the lights went out in the operating room with a patient open on the table. That’s when he realized what he wanted to do with his life: make sure every health care worker had access to the tools they needed, “I left that day thinking it was great to be a doctor, but I wanted to do biomedical engineering,” says David. So, he went abroad to study—first at a university in Norway and then at Harvard...
TORONTO — With the rise in popularity of QR codes at restaurants and other businesses during the pandemic, privacy and cyber security experts are urging Canadians to be cautious in their use of the technology. While the technology has been around since the early 90s, “quick response” or “QR” codes have experienced a rapid resurgence during the pandemic. The unique black-and-white squares – which serve as a kind of bar code – replaced physical menus at restaurants and other paper forms during the early push to provide touchless service and avoid further spread of COVID-19. Instead of handling a menu or filling out a check-in document, customers could use their smartphones to quickly scan a QR code, which would take them to a digital menu or online contact tracing form, for example. And although the science on COVID-19 has been updated to show the disease is not as easily spread by contaminated surfaces as it was first thought, businesses have continued to make use of QR codes for their convenience and other advantages. Some of those perks include cost savings in not printing menus, the ease of editing a menu online, and the ability to collect information on their customers’ preferences to cater to them. But are there any potential downsides to this QR code technology that’s being embraced so widely? INCREASED TRACKING While directing diners to a digital menu using a QR code may seem innocuous, privacy experts expressed their concerns about what personal data is being collected and how it could be used when a customer visits a particular website. For example, a customer might be taken...

Patricia Toth McCormick/Getty Images Want to catch tax cheats? The government of Rwanda does — and it’s finding them by studying anomalies in revenue-collection data. Want to understand how American culture is changing? So does a budding sociologist in Indiana. He’s using data science to find patterns in the massive amounts of text people use each day to express their worldviews — patterns that no individual reader would be able to recognize. Intelligent people find new uses for data science every day. Still, despite the explosion of interest in the data collected by just about every sector of American business — from financial companies and health care firms to management consultancies and the government — many organizations continue to relegate data-science knowledge to a small number of employees. That’s a mistake — and in the long run, it’s unsustainable. Think of it this way: Very few companies expect only professional writers to know how to write. So why ask only professional data scientists to understand and analyze data, at least at a basic level? Relegating all data knowledge to a handful of people within a company is problematic on many levels. Data scientists find it frustrating because it’s hard for them to communicate their findings to colleagues who lack basic data literacy. Business stakeholders are unhappy because data requests take too long to fulfill and often fail to answer the original questions. In some cases, that’s because the questioner failed to explain the question properly to the data scientist. Why would non–data scientists need to learn data science? That’s like asking why non-accountants should be expected to stay within budget. These...
