ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 042 WSU ROAR - Responsibility, Opportunities, Advocacy and Respect with Lisa Henniger Lisa Henniger is joining me to talk about Washington State University's ROAR program, which supports higher education for the disabled and neurodiverse. Lisa's son Evan, who has down syndrome, has always wanted to go to WSU and follow in the footsteps of his entire family. Evan was among the WSU ROAR program's first cohort in 2018 which has been a dream-come-true.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Can you tell us about your background and how you got involved in ROAR? Our son Evan has down syndrome and has always wanted to go to college. We downplayed that possibility until we realized there are programs for kids with intellectual disabilities. We learned Washington State University was interested in developing a program for students with disabilities— the ROAR program, which stands for responsibility, opportunity, advocacy and respect. When we learned they were developing the program, we were really interested in it and got involved. How does tuition work? Are there scholarship and grant options? There are scholarships and because WSU is a financial aid approved institution and the ROAR program is approved for financial aid, there's a possibility for financial support. Students in the ROAR program aren't given credit hours, there's a problem meeting the minimum number of credits for financial aid. They're still working on how to handle that. Was Evan one of the first students in the ROAR program? He was among the first five students accepted for their soft opening. It was successful and there was unbelievable growth through completing the program. In the second year, the program admitted another six students and they're building towards 10-20 students per year.  What is the daily program like? The ROAR program has a set of core classes including health education, financial literacy, job skills and preparing for the future. In addition, the program engages the student in person-centered-planning to draw out their true interests. Once they've identified a student's passions, they align WSU classes they can take for audit. Evan has a class in sports management because that's his major. He doesn't take the classes for a grade, it's pass fail, but he takes them to the best of his ability. He has class projects, group classes and takes class finals. How much has this experience changed Evan? Evan is far more capable than I thought. When you go through the application process, they interview the student and interview the parents separately. One of the questions for us was if we were able to let our child go, which in our case was about 350 miles from home. We wanted this so badly, we were willing to try. I didn't realize how capable Evan was of handling what life threw at him on his own. When we're around, his default is to turn to us to help, but on his own he has to handle things. The program staff are so good at realizing the potential of each student and requiring them to do things on their own. These kids have risen to the challenge. If Evan has a problem in the apartment, he calls maintenance. If his computer isn't working, he calls tech support. If he's not feeling well, he calls and schedules an appointment at the health center. I really had no idea he could do all of that and the level of independence he has is greater than I thought.  Will Evan get a proper graduation? He will get a proper graduation, walk with the rest of the university students, will have a cap and gown and will get his certificate. Were the teachers who are involved with driving this program special education teachers before? The two professors who were the original founders of the program and developed the curriculum were both experienced with these programs at other institutions. They and some graduate students taught the ROAR classes. Typical students are interviewed and screened as a process of becoming peer allies for the ROAR students on campus. This provides an opportunity to socialize and gives the students someone to go to the grocery store, games and other events with. The ROAR instructors are university professors, two of which are PhD students and the other classes are taught by the regular course professors.  What are your words of wisdom for parents and caregivers when planning for their child's educational future? Never sell your kid short. As parents, we worry about our kids— their safety, growth, their acceptance and bullying, but strongly consider options outside of your comfort zone and take a leap of faith. Find out about and consider the opportunities that exist and educate yourself on the options and resources available.  LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED WSU ROAR Website https://education.wsu.edu/undergradprograms/wsuroar/ WSU ROAR Program on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WSUROAR/ TUNE INTO THE ONCE UPON A GENE PODCAST Spotify Apple Podcasts Stitcher Overcast CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/

On today’s episode, we have Evan Reece. Evan co-founded Liftopia, a consumer platform and back-of-house revenue management system for resorts. Today, the company works with more than 250 resorts worldwide and is the largest ticket sales operation in North America. Tune in to hear us discuss how Liftopia came about, how it works, and why loyal customers are some of the most resort-disloyal people. Topics: [02:44] Before starting Liftopia, Evan had been working for HotWire. [03:25] Before Liftopia, people hadn’t been buying lift tickets online. [04:40] People hadn’t been offering this service, because ski resorts didn’t think their customers bought tickets this way. [05:20] Resorts believed their customers wouldn’t buy tickets this way, because they had never done so before. [07:32] Evan wanted to create a way to reduce risk for the resorts and increase profitability. [08:42] Competitors’ models are similar. [11:30] Multi-resort passes are for adventurers, but they are also the least loyal customers. [13:20] In the end, everyone just wants to ski more. [15:08] Icon and Epic passes are reshaping the industry. [16:02] In terms of passes, Evan doesn’t like to pick sides. [16:40] People often switch season passes from year to year. [17:20] The pass you choose depends on if you drive, fly, or are a destination traveler. [19:33] The most surprising thing found in Liftopia’s consumer survey, is that a lot of season pass holders are using their consumer brand. [21:12] Skiers love to find new experiences and explore new terrain. [21:33] Overall, people are seeking value. [25:50] When regional mountains try to match the prices of larger mountains, they cut out a large community of skiers. [28:04] Skiers love the passes, because they spend the same amount they used to spend on one mountain for multiple mountains. [29:14] Evan has skied less since having a family. [31:30] The industry wants you to buy in advance, as it’s better for everyone involved. [33:39] Skiing isn’t just about carving down the hill, it’s about the overall experience. [34:11] If Evan lived on the East Coast, he’d be spending more time in Europe, as the cost of skiing is lower and it provides a great cultural experience. [35:40] The growth rate has to slow down at some point, because the only way to draw in new skiers is to make the season pass cost less than a day pass. [36:58] The new Epic Day Pass is a great option that can bring the cost down significantly. [39:24] Core skiers used to mean something different than it does today. [41:50] Commit early and be adventurous!

Panel: Divya Sasidharan Erik Hanchett Joe Eames John Papa Chris Fritz Special Guest: Duncan Grant In this episode, the panel talks with Duncan Grant who is a JavaScript developer and he talks briefly about his background. Today he discusses the “Top Ten Things He Loves About Vue.” He works in Cambridge, UK and is quite involved there. You can check Duncan out through LinkedIn, Twitter, Medium, and other social media sites. He currently works for Cambridge Intelligence. Check out his bios to see Duncan’s latest activity! Show Topics: 2:30 – After a certain threshold, it doesn’t matter anymore if there is a vibrant community to learn and support from one another. If there were only one mindset then we’d be in trouble. 2:50 – Duncan: Having a community to support each other is great – I agree. 3:50 – I think too many people get wrapped-up in the “newest, best” thing out there and that can get tiring. 4:32 – Should I use X over Y? If you are happy and productive then there is no reason to switch. Why do that to yourself? 5:45 – Duncan: I only have been using Vue for only 1½ year. I was reluctant to use Vue at first. He wasn’t that interested. Eventually, I did have a look because it was someone saying: “Vue is the new jQuery.” There was a very out-there-comment, and so it made my interested to check-out Vue. Some of the concepts are very reusable. 8:03 – Let’s ask a question, first – what do you NOT like about Vue? 8:15 – Duncan: It’s the lack of what Vue has to offer or not offer. 9:09 – Vue doesn’t have a lot of opinions, unlike Angular among others. 9:52 – It depends on “how you like to roll.” 11:12 – It depends on where you are coming from. Try to take an Angular project, and apply it to “x, y, and z” and it is very difficult. 11:59 – The community (Vue) is growing bigger and bigger, but the jobs aren’t quite that high. Compared to Angular and hopefully it is changing. 12:236 – There are people looking to use Vue, but they don’t feel like they need someone with a lot of Vue experience, but ideally they are looking for someone who also knows JavaScript. 13:05 – For me, Vue, feels like I can get this thing running very quickly, but you don’t’ have to take them on when you are ready. It’s a slow progressive. But for Angular you have to bite upfront a little more upfront. But when you get past that it’s about the same. I think it’s easier to slip into Vue right away. 13:51 – Duncan: I agree with that comment. 14:32 – Wait...I came into learn “x, y, and z” but I have to learn “a, b, and c...”? 15:13 – There might be a lot of things to learn at first, but once you can do it then you can configure a lot of different things. 15:38 – If you start at the COI then you’re golden. 17:18 – If you have strong opinions then that’s good for them because it’s working for them. 17:53 - Divya Sasidharan adds her comments. 19:30 – Question to Duncan about something he said in his blog (2nd paragraph). Listen to this time stamp to see what the challenge is all about! 20:05 – Duncan: It probably doesn’t and I haven’t seen any horror stories. 21:39 – Topic: Components 21:48 – Duncan: “People say developers are lazy.” 22:28 – The panel talks about how they enjoy Duncan’s points in his blog. 25:15 – Divya Sasidharan adds her comments. 26:26 – It’s a progression. You think about some sort of state (I hear this a lot in the Angular world), who has logged-in their name do I really need X program? No, not really. Create a simple class. Use the right tool for the right job. 27:17 – Topic: Patterns 28:15 – We talked about this on previous episodes. It’s difficult to manage and it can get out of hand. 29:16 – Check-out this timestamp for a recommendation from one of the panelists! 29:56 – Mid-roll Advertisement for Digital Ocean! 30:50 – Let’s talk about Duncan’s talk after your blog post. Duncan feels that the material worked well for the blog set-up, but not for an actual discussion. Duncan talks about people’s concerns and dislikes about Vue. It’s hard when someone criticizes you, because is it your actual code or is it user’s error? 32:30 – A problem like not updating when it should – Vue.delete and Vue.set. 34:47 – Do it under the hood, so people don’t have to change the way they work. 35:07 – Question for Duncan: People have said, “Vue isn’t good for using large applications.” Have you heard this question before, and what do you think? 35:21 – Duncan’s answer to this question. He has only used Vue for medium-sized applications. But...for larger sized projects, then “yes” it could be complicated. It doesn’t matter what framework you use, because it’s “large” no matter what application you decide to use. 36:44 – Statistic given. 37:25 – Large-scale applications. 37:32 – Duncan talks about other criticisms from the blog post. 40:02 – What people are really getting at is that they want stability to keep it around for the foreseeable future. 41:00 – If Evan were to get hit by a bus... 42:52 – Everyone wants Vue to succeed and it’s a joint effort. 44:36 – Question to Duncan: “Getting back to your post. I am curious, what do you see is next for you? What are the next blog topics?” 45:00 – Duncan shares his thoughts on his next blog topics, such as: “Vue doesn’t have to be that scary...” 46:40 – It’s good that you point that out, because a lot of time we do things that are interesting to us, but if it isn’t interesting to the readers, then it wont’ go far. 47:05 – Like video games! 47:25 – Question to Duncan: “What are your personal challenges of advanced concepts as you were making the transition?” 47:53 – Duncan: “Interesting question, because Vue was easier for me. One small thing was the radioactivity that I had to learn.” 48:54 – Understanding patterns. 51:27 – The essential concepts in Vue, you can check that out. Want to make sure that people can get through that on their free day. New applications can be learned, and how to build on their Saturday afternoon. Going through all of their applications that quickly. 52:08 – Duncan: “You don’t have to invest in multiple days to learn Vue.” 53:57 – Let’s go to picks! 53:59 – Advertisement 54:37 – Picks!  Links: JavaScript Ruby on Rails Angular Digital Ocean Code Badge Duncan Grant’s Website Duncan Grant’s GitHub Duncan Grant’s LinkedInDuncan Grant’s Midwinter Duncan Grant’s Medium Duncan Grant’s Twitter Vue jQuery Reddit Smashing Magazine: Replacing jQuery With Vue.js: No Build Step Necessary Cambridge Intelligence Sponsors: Kendo UI Digital Ocean Code Badge Cache Fly Picks: Divya Sasidharan Article: The Git Parable 9 Biggest CSS Grid Mistakes Cards Against Humanity John Papa Books: Star Wars STDLIB Chris Fritz Cards Against Humanity Coffee?

This week my guest is Evan Wright, principal data scientist at cybersecurity startup Anomali. In my interview with Evan, he and I discussed about a number of topics surrounding the use of machine learning in cybersecurity. If Evan’s name sounds familiar, it’s because Evan was the winner of the O’Reilly Strata+Hadoop World ticket giveaway earlier this month. We met up at the conference last week and took advantage of the opportunity to record this show. Our conversation covers, among other topics, the three big problems in cybersecurity that ML can help out with, the challenges of acquiring ground truth in cybersecurity and some ways to accomplish it, and the use of decision trees, generative adversarial networks, and other algorithms in the field. The show notes can be found at twimlai.com/talk/16.
