“What we are trying to do is break the silos of the colleges and create what we call tech-enabled curriculum in every part of the (institution) … which will widen availability of students who choose to explore those futuristic careers,” says Mallik Sundharam, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs.
UChicago Medicine's Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and Innovation entered into a multiyear agreement with Illinois Tech's Institute of Design to use human-centered design to improve the patient experience and reduce inequities. Illinois Tech's Institute of Design's Equitable Healthcare Lab will provide UChicago Medicine with insights on how to implement new healthcare tools, provide training for employees and create more opportunities for more collaboration.
Eldon Ham, an adjunct faculty member a Chicago-Kent College of Law who teaches about sports, law and justice, writes about how William Wrigley Jr. was instrumental in the beginning of baseball broadcasting.
Today, we are witnessing the greatest disruption to the art world since cubism — along with a similar backlash. Underlying this disruption is a technology called a non-fungible token, or NFT, a computer program that establishes a new type of virtual ownership not just for digital artworks but also for anything that can be owned.

“If (people) are feeling increased levels of stress, (it’s important) that they back off before it becomes a major challenge,” says Psychology Professor Patrick Corrigan. “A change in anything should be paid attention to. If you find yourself eating more or less, crying more, sleeping more or less, or in conflict more, these could all be signs that something may be going on.”
“The core experience of Mario is playgrounds,” says Jennifer deWinter, dean of Lewis College of Science and Letters and author of “Shigeru Miyamoto: Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda.” “It’s climbing and jumping and sliding and exploration. Look at that original movie, the core experience is the conflict. (The game has) never been about the conflict, it’s about the experience. How do you translate this experience?”
How did Assistant Professor Mohammad Asadi and his colleagues make the single-cell battery behind their rechargeability breakthrough? They started with one key constraint: To be practical, the battery had to operate at room temperature. Previous room temperature designs contained a liquid electrolyte, the material that carries ions between the cathode and anode. But in 2019, Asadi set out to create a solid-state version, meaning one with a solid electrolyte. He wasn’t sure how rechargeable the battery would be, but at a minimum, he saw two potential advantages: safety, and the ability to reduce weight and volume.
“There’s no such thing as a perfect game,” said Jennifer deWinter, dean of Lewis College of Science and Letters. “But if I had to ponder the brilliance of Tetris — and I think that is a fun thing to ponder — Tetris provides a pattern-based abstraction that allows people to go into a flow state, readily.”
The charge against former President Donald Trump “arises under New York law and it focuses on the falsification of a business record,” said Chicago-Kent Professor Harold Krent. “That’s a misdemeanor under New York state law, but it can be elevated to a felony if it’s found to be in connection with another criminal purpose, such as falsification of election filings, which might in fact be what’s at stake here.”
