Not wiki-related per se, but probably many people on this list might be
interested.

Hi,
I'm running the Eric & Wendy Schmidt "Data Science for Social Good" Summer
Fellowship again this year at the University of Chicago and need help in
recruiting strong students (grad students or junior/senior undergrads with
CS, Machine Learning, and/or Stats background). The goal is to get up to
50 students in Chicago this summer and have them work on high-impact
social problems (in education, healthcare, energy, transportation, crime,
etc.) using Machine Learning, Data Mining, and other related buzzwords. The
students will work with full-time mentors from academia and industry. The
fellowships are paid competitively and we will provide housing as well.
More details are at http://dssg.uchicago.edu <http://dssg.uchicago.edu/>.
Applications for the fellowship are due February 1, 2014.
If you have (or know of) strong CS/Stats/Econometrics/Applied Math/Policy
students who have an interest in making an impact by working on high-impact
social problems using machine learning/data mining/stats, please forward this
to them.
Thanks,
Rayid
P.S. We’re also looking for full-time mentors (strong technical folks with
real-world experience who want to spend the summer in Chicago working with a
team of fellows).
