Looking for work or a fresh start? Omar Garriott, executive director of The Batten Institute for Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology, shares three practical job-seeking strategies grounded in how entrepreneurs see the world.

A new study of Nigeria’s top banks finds that having more women on boards doesn’t hurt financial performance. In fact, gender-diverse boards perform just as well as male-dominated ones — debunking the myth that diversity comes at a cost.

AI requires data, lots of it. Tech companies are rapidly building new data centers to house it, which will require massive amounts of electricity. How do we power them and stay on track with our emission reduction goals? An unlikely candidate is emerging – nuclear energy.

For decades, we have used quantum physics to power MRI machines, solar panels, and lasers. More recently, big tech companies have entered a race to quantum supremacy, where quantum computers surpass silicon-based super computers in speed and complex problem solving. But what is it?

Health care fraud costs the U.S. more than $100 billion annually. Why is that? And how can technology — and specifically artificial intelligence — help us identify problems sooner and potentially help prevent billions in medical fraud and abuse?
