Do people have other good resources they would share with potential applicants? Happy to add them to the list with attribution.

We get a mention too 
:
- Chicago — Chicago’s CS department is on the rise. This is the break out story of the last two years in the DB world. They have a new building. Database legend Mike Franklin is now the department chair. Aaron Elmore is doing great work on a variety of areas (e.g., anomalies, data dedup). He also has a joint VLDB 2017 paper with Aditya Parameswaran on a git-style versioned DBMS called OrpheusDB. Chicago also just hired Sanjay Krishnan from Berkeley who has some of the first work on using reinforcement learning on query optimization.
