Her first lesson: Data is everything, or, quoting a colleague, "they who have the most data win." Second is to have an important problem to work on that can only be solved with the new technology, but -- as a third lesson -- it has to be the right problem to solve. She illustrated these lessons with her own research into optoelectronic pre-screening to automate the examination of pap smear slides.1 The automation could detect cervical cancer more accurately and at an earlier stage than manual review of slides by cytologists, potentially preventing thousands of deaths in the United States and millions worldwide.

Ensuring Authenticity and Trust in Digital Systems The third panel of the workshop moved from threats to security and privacy to a discussion of how two pioneering technologies, quantum computing and blockchain, may enable solutions to verifying and ensuring authenticity and integrity in digital systems. Mark Jackson, scientific lead of business development for Cambridge Quantum Computing, gave an overview of the basic principles and definitions of quantum computing, stressing that quantum computing is not a faster or more advanced version of current systems, but a completely different type of computer.
