Linked in report on Jobs & Salaries for 2017.  Highlights:

• STEM jobs pay the best
• Highest paid undergrad = CS (shocker), highest paid grad degree = MD (even bigger shocker haha) 
• San Fran & Seattle are tops for overall pay...NYC no longer tops

Finally there’s a new approved therapy for Cancer (leukemia) that isn’t just radiation and chemo. I have seen many amazing sounding therapies but all were in experimental phase (such as 2nd link), I can't recall every seeing one finally get approved...hope this is the 1st of many!

Now on to a Quora topic on fave math puzzles...I only took a close look at 1, this one below is very cool.  I was too tired to really dig into it so gave an educated guess, it's nearly the right answer but there is an answer a bit better but requires quite a bit more thinking and imagination to come up with it.
