Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering
Mayor Bloomberg and Columbia University President Bollinger today announced an agreement between the City of New York and Columbia University that will lead to the creation of a new Institute for Data Sciences and Engineering, to be located at Columbia’s Morningside Heights and Washington Heights campuses in New York City, and the hiring of dozens of new faculty within the university’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The announcement is the next milestone in the City’s groundbreaking Applied Sciences NYC initiative, which seeks to dramatically increase New York City’s capacity for applied sciences and engineering while strengthening and transforming the City’s economy for generations.

Mayor Bloomberg said:
“This historic partnership is the newest element in the applied sciences initiative that is, by far, the largest and most far-reaching economic development effort City government has undertaken in modern memory. It will create tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity, and it will encourage the growth of the tech sector in New York City and solidify our leadership in the innovation economy for decades to come.”
Fail fast. Don’t be afraid to take risks, don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

Totally agree with this! When you’re not afraid to fail fast, you’re much more likely to try exciting, wild new things and innovate.
