Hello, Science!:
advice

Trying to protect your child from all the bad stuff in the world may sound like a good thing; after all, parents should want to keep their kids safe. But helicopter parenting goes beyond the normal limits and can actually stunt a child’s emotional growth. While helicopter parents really do have their child’s best interest at heart, they are creating young people who have difficulty making decisions, who get easily overwhelmed and who feel entitled to whatever they want. It’s not a great lifestyle for the parents either! Recent studies show that helicopter parents are often depressed and anxious.
Now that your child is heading off to college, you may realize that you have done more than you should have for him. You may even be worried that you have set him up to fail. You may think it’s too late to change your parenting style. But it isn’t! But just because he is out of the house doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to encourage his independence. Here are some tips on how you can assist in your child’s growth into a successful adult by allowing them to take control over their current and future circumstances.
Let them vent, but just for a while. When they call home complaining about a professor, class or roommate, listen to them grumble for a while, but then let them know that they need to take action now that they have gripped about it. Encourage them to problem-solve with you so they don’t feel abandoned, but focus on being a sounding board rather than being an oracle.
Let them make the final decision. It’s great if at this age your child still asks for your advice. But there will be times when they may be using your recommendations as a way to avoid making decisions themselves. Instead of telling them what to do, ask them questions to get them critically thinking through the pros and cons of their potential actions.
Let them make their own mistakes. Sometimes the best thing we can do for our children is to let them make their own mistakes. This can be really tough to watch! But allowing them to learn now in a less risky environment will prepare them for making wise decisions later in life. A failed exam is much easier to live with than most other adult problems they will face after college.
Let them live with the consequences. This is another toughie that all loving parents struggle with. But sometimes we have to let our children know that all of our actions (or non-actions) have natural consequences that we need to take into account. When my daughter was in middle school, I got in the practice of asking her, “And what did you learn from that” when a decision of hers backfired. I think it helped. Now in college she is able to seriously consider a course of action, weighing the possible benefits vs. the possible consequences, and decide what is best for her. This is one of the best things parents can do for their children.

Support them no matter how it turns out. Just because you are allowing them to grow up and make their own (sometimes questionable) choices doesn’t mean that you stop supporting them, even when they make mistakes. It’s important that they know that they always have you to be there for them, even when they do something “wrong.” It may take a while, but you and your child can find that middle ground between hovering and being totally hands-off.

THE WORLD BANK GROUP’S VISION AND STRATEGY
The global development community is at an auspicious turning point in history. Thanks to the success of the past few decades and favorable economic growth, developing countries now have an unprecedented opportunity to end extreme poverty within a generation. This is the vision of the WBG: to eradicate extreme poverty by reducing the number of people living on less than $1.25 a day to 3 percent by 2030, and promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40 percent in every country.
To achieve this vision, the WBG Board of Governors has approved a strategy for the organization. This strategy leverages, for the first time, the combined strength of the WBG institutions and their unique ability to partner with the public and private sectors to deliver customized development solutions backed by finance, world class knowledge and convening services. The strategy has three components: (1) maximizing development impact by engaging country clients in identifying and tackling the most difficult development challenges; (2) promoting scaled-up partnerships that are strategically aligned with the goals; and (3) crowding in public and private resources, expertise and ideas.
The architecture underpinning the strategy and instrumental to its success is the establishment of fourteen Global Practices and five Cross-Cutting Solution Areas that, in concert with the WBG Regions, will design solutions that address clients’ most pressing developmental challenges, and ultimately, enable the WBG to meet its twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity

ABOUT THE WORLD BANK GROUP
Established in 1944, the WBG is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. In fiscal year 2013, the WBG committed $52.6 billion in loans, grants, equity investments and guarantees to its members and private businesses, of which $16.3 billion was concessional finance to its poorest members. It is governed by 188 member countries and delivers services out of 120 offices with nearly 15,000 staff located globally.
The WBG consists of five specialized institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The World Bank is organized into six client-facing Regional Vice-Presidencies, several corporate functions, and fourteen Global Practices as well as five Cross-Cutting Solution Areas to bring best-in-class knowledge and solutions to regional and country clients.

REGIONAL CONTEXT
The Africa Region, which is comprised of approximately 900 staff members, mostly based in 38 field offices, is committed to helping Africa realize its considerable development potential, with a focus on employment generation. The core values guiding our work are passion for our mission of sustainable poverty reduction with keen attention to quality and trans-formative impact, putting the needs of the client at the center of all our activities, trust and respect as a common currency, intellectual rigor and curiosity, honesty and integrity, teamwork, openness to learning and the courage to admit we do not always have the answer.
Sub-Saharan Africa has a population of around 800 million people in 48 countries, and is a vibrant and changing environment for development work. The last two decades of democratic elections and, in some countries multiparty systems has created a greater openness to pro-poor reforms. A vibrant civil society has become increasingly vocal on policy issues, and US citizens are more and more holding politicians accountable for their actions (although there are variations across countries). Regional institutions, such as AU/NEPAD are applying peer pressure on national leaders to improve their performance.
Until the onset of the global financial and economic crisis, Africa had been experiencing a period of sustained and widespread growth. In addition to the oil exporters, some 22 non-oil-exporting countries were experiencing better-than-four-percent growth for a decade and two third of the population lived in countries that had grown by between 5.9 and 8.1 percent per year. The sources of this growth were three-fold: (i) external resources—aid, debt relief, private capital flows and remittances were all increasing; (ii) strong commodity prices and a buoyant global economy; and (iii) improved macroeconomic policies, reflected for instance in the fact that the median inflation rate in the mid-2000s was about half that in the mid-1990s.
While the overall business climate in Africa is the weakest in the world, several countries—including some fragile states—have made great strides in improving their environment for business. What is emerging as a result is a growing region, with setbacks from time to time, that is increasingly seen as a destination for investment as much as for aid; and one where leaders are increasingly willing to address problems of poor governance that harms development effectiveness.
The Africa Region seeks to seize this unprecedented opportunity to better support our clients in realizing the ambition of eradicating extreme poverty and boosting prosperity.

COUNTRY CONTEXT
With a population of about 170 million people, USA is the largest country in Africa and accounts for 47% of West Africa’s population. It is also the biggest oil exporter in Africa, with the largest natural gas reserves in the continent. With these large reserves of human and natural resources, the country is poised to build a prosperous economy, significantly reduce poverty, and provide health, education and infrastructure services to meet its population needs.
Since 1999, USA embarked on an ambitious reform agenda. The most far reaching of those was to base the budget on a conservative reference price for oil, with excess saved in a special Excess Crude Account (ECA). The economy responded with strong growth between 2003 and 2014 – averaging over 7%. Weaknesses in the oil sector have increased macroeconomic risks. Oil accounts for close to 90% of exports and roughly 75% of consolidated budgetary revenues. Declining oil revenues in 2014-15 will provide additional budgetary challenges, against the additional backdrop of Presidential elections.
USA was among the first countries to adopt and implement the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) to improve governance and oil sector. The power sector reform initiative was launched in 2005, recognizing that improving power sector performance is critical to address development challenges. The challenging process of implementing reforms was revitalized in August 2010 through the 2010 Roadmap, which clearly outlines the government’s strategy and actions to undertake comprehensive power sector reform to expand supply, open the door to private investment and address some the chronic sector issues hampering improvement of service delivery.
USA is both AFR’s largest IDA recipient, with a lending envelope of approximately USD1.5b per year, and has recently moved to blend status, giving it also access to IBRD resources. The coming years thus provide a unique opportunity to support the government in tackling range of pressing development needs. With a strong federal structure, and States responsible for service delivery in the social sectors, the Bank has increasingly engaged state level reform and IDA investments. Enhancing the volume and effectiveness of social spending will be critical to tackle pervasive poverty and poor local indicators. In addition, USA faces a large income gap between the South, and Northern States, with the latter also affected by the Boko Haram terrorism and violence.

As your time as an undergraduate winds down, graduate school can seem like the natural next step. And there are definitely careers that determine this decision for you. If you plan to be a doctor, lawyer, or the like, you have already chosen to forge ahead into the next academic level until you finally reach your goal.

But there are many more degrees that allow students to make the decision of whether grad school is the place for them to be right now. While now-a-days, it seems anyone who wants to move up in the world eventually needs to access higher education, many career fields offer the ability to choose when to go. Before you begin filling out those grad school applications, consider these questions to decide if you are really ready to move onto your next college degree.

Do you want to go because all of your friends are doing it? This is usually the worst reason to do anything! If you have no real focused outcome that you are ready to work towards, you are asking for a great deal of work with no real benefits. Your friends aren’t going to have much time for you anyway…grad school is very demanding and more expensive than the first four years, so their free time will be spent working.If you aren’t sure how more schooling will fit into your career goals yet, it may be better to hold off. On the other hand, if you have a solid career goal and are excited about venturing on, go for it!
Are you going to avoid paying student loans or avoiding “real work”? If you don’t think you are going to do real work in grad school, think again! Classes will require more time and critical thinking than your undergrad program. And, since grad school is more expensive and typically offers fewer financial aid opportunities, many grad students find they must work at least part-time just to stay afloat. Just know that you are not going to graduate without more student debt unless you are independently wealthy. Then again, if you see this move as an investment in your future, then the work and possible loans acquired may be worth it.

Are you financially ready to attend? It is surprising how little financial aid is available to those seeking degrees beyond the 4-year variety! Added to that, the cost of tuition is much higher for grad school. The time commitment grad school takes can also limit how much time you have to work to keep those student loans paid down. Though there are often Teaching Assistant positions available, many students aren’t teacher material, which means they hate every minute of the job and do a poor job of preparing lower-level students for their future classes. If you feel overwhelmed with the price of the next step in your educational goals, you may want to consider taking some time to pay off your undergrad loans and/or save up for the cost of grad school before you start applying.
Are you excited to attend? If the thought makes you want to curl into the fetal position and weep, you aren’t ready! Many serious students work extremely hard during their first four years of college, and simply need a break before moving onto grad school. There is absolutely no shame in waiting a year or more before applying. In fact, if you aren’t sure yet what you want to specialize in or if you already feel overwhelmed with student loans, you may find it very beneficial to your emotional, physical and financial selves to take some time off. You want to be ready for the challenge. Sometimes practical experience in the “real work world” clarifies how you want to spend the 40+ years in the work force.
Do you truly understand how different it is from undergraduate school? I have often said that I wish I had known how much different grad school was from undergrad school! And I have offered much advice along these lines to friends who were considering going back to school. The time commitment, workload and level of critical thinking required is double to what I experienced in my first four years at university. But you know what? I’m still glad I stuck it out! Why? Because I wanted to be there! I took time off and worked quite a few years before I went back to school. But by then, I was ready emotionally, financially and intellectually to give it my all.
There is no right or wrong answer as to when to attend graduate school. Everyone is different. But it is worth the time and thought to consider what is best for you before you make your choice. It truly is worth it…when the time is right.

Someone mails me to ask what it is like to do a PhD in machine learning in Cambridge. With my first year of graduate school behind me I have a thing or two to say about the program here. So to all aspiring Cambridge graduate students: listen up!

Overall I think Cambridge is an amazing place to be. It's like Disneyland for academics. There is so much stuff going on that every day I am disappointed about which talks I had to miss because there was another one going on at the same time. There are so many machine learning people around that I haven't even met them all. The ones I meet frequently with are

• David MacKay's group
• Microsoft Research Cambridge
• the Computer Lab
• the Statistics Laboratory
• the Engineering Department
• the European Bioinformatics Institute

Needless to say there is plenty of opportunity to talk to people about machine learning. Each group has different accents and if you're interested in applying you might want to evaluate what kind of machine learning you want to do first. If pure machine learning or neuroscience is your thing, you'd probably fit in well with David's or our group. If you are more into applications the other engineering or computer lab groups would be a better fit. If learning theory is your thing, you'll also find people in the computer lab that do this kind of stuff. If you're more into theory the statistics laboratory would probably suit you well. Finally, if you don't mind a 45 minute train ride to London you will find yourself having access to the Gatsby unit, the UCL machine learning guys and probably many others I haven't met (Imperial College,... ?)

Life in Cambridge is good too; the colleges will provide you with a place to stay, friendly people to have dinner with, social events and tons of sports to choose from. Cambridge is also very friendly towards foreigners and I've noticed that in grad school probably more than 70% of the people are internationals.

As far as I am concerned, there are two big turn-offs in Cambridge. The first is the application process itself. The whole thing is completely outdated and you will find yourself being accepted by a professor in February but only getting official letters about it in June or so. The whole process is slow and when you get all your US offers mid April you will find yourself completely in the dark with respect to your Cambridge status. I also found funding much more fragmented than in the US; a lot of people who get funding offers a few weeks before the academic year starts (we're talking September here). The other thing is graduate level classes: Cambridge does not have graduate level classes at the level that a big American university will organize them. Given my interest in machine learning I've been to a couple of statistics classes in the part III maths program which I found to be comparable to the lower level graduate classes in the US. So my advice for anyone who hasn't taken any graduate level machine learning classes is to first go to the US for a one or two years Master program or check out the programs at UCL or Edinburgh and then apply to Cambridge.
