Polis has launched The Diabetes Impact Project (DIP-IN) Community Profiles about the three focus neighborhoods involved in this project: Northeast, Northwest, and Near West. These community dashboards empower communities and community health workers to understand the context of their neighborhood.
We worked with School of Informatics and Computing Data Science graduate students on a national project to locate as many low-head dams as possible to improve the database inventory of these structures. They pose a danger to kayakers, rafters, and swimmers because the hydraulics during high water can swamp vessels and keep the swimmer pulled under at the base of the dam.
