UL Research will Use AI to Identify Waste in LA Dept Health

This is interesting, and worth some serious discussion. In part, because UL was chosen to do the work in the medical sector, rather than other universities. (And please don't turn this into a partisan spat about DOGE.)

This is almost shocking that UL was selected. Obviously we’re highly qualified to do it but politically this would have been impossible not too long ago.

The topic high jacking is also interesting. I just read a fascinating discussion on the finding of ancient cypress forests below Gulf sediments. The article was written sometime ago. It used the now politically incorrect term Gulf of Mexico. It also gave a carbon dating of 60,000 years ago. Yep. The discussions that I had hoped would have more interesting data or observations were taken over with GoA vs GoM and are of earth being only 6000 years. I was sad I had looked at the discussions. We are a dumb state.

On a planet billions of years old, 60,000 years is seconds ago.

Did that article say if the forest slid into "the Gulf" (the gulf is the local indicator I have always used, still accurate) or did it say the forest sank?

Is nursing uniquely positioned, or does B.I. Moody Scool of Efficientcy have a positive national reputation?

I assume it is Informatics. We have built a powerful team there, and we are building it even stronger.

The Provost is a statistician; he understands the power, and the potential in this field.

Wirh proper funding... your efforts 20 years ago would have accomplished much of their goals

[cypremort]

Yes, Informatics Research Institute. They have had a decade long partnership with LDH.

Oh, that proposal isn't dead yet. I have been in discussions with some critical people around the state, and in fact I met with someone influential yesterday.

It's interesting, the medical project started with a letter I wrote to Ray in 1989, and about the same time we started the Acadiana Educational Endowment. I always viewed them as two separate projects, but then about a year ago, and with no conscious intent, I realized that our work on ReadingWithKids.org had merged them.

Funny how things work out that way sometimes. In fact, in getting ready for yesterday's meeting I was surprised to see these headlines.

Providence?
