Really enjoyed hearing Cherri “Real News” Gregg on Slate Political Gabfest this weekend. Put the PA elections in context better than any other discussion I’ve heard or read.

It was great to be at Rutgers ISE today. Super-impressed with the many great questions from the students in the audience. Thanks for the invite Aziz Ezzat !

It was great hosting Prof. Larry Snyder (Larry Snyder) of Lehigh University (Lehigh University) as part of our Rutgers ISE seminar series. Prof. Snyder toured our labs and facilities, and presented his exciting research about machine learning for optimizing inventory.

Twitter fired the entire ML Ethics, Transparency, and Accountability (META) team at Twitter. I don't know any of those folks personally but I follow many of them and am looking forward to finding them elsewhere. Mastodon? wired.com/story/twitter-…

In our Algs and Social Justice class we played the "Let's Bid" game by @DestenieNock. We used it to introduce the idea of optimization (in the context of electricity markets) and to discuss social justice aspects. It worked great. See Destenie's paper at tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

"Supply chain optimization researchers have been arguing for years that we need to add slack back into the system," writes Lehigh ISE Dept Prof Larry Snyder. It’s possible to "add a lot of resilience into the system with a relatively little extra slack." ow.ly/mmVH50LORbi

Last week in our Algorithms and Social Justice class, we played a video game that our amazing TA Oumaima SOHAB built, based on @seanrsinclair et al.'s paper about efficient and fair allocation problems. Game, code, and a link to Sean's paper at github.com/LarrySnyder/AS…

Come see Andrea Lodi Larry Snyder and many other great Twitter-less speakers! EL HOUSNI Omar

Annaleigh Ashford might have stolen the show Sweeney Todd, but for us the true draw was L A D Y J E S S and the rest of the pit! (Actually, Annaleigh Ashford was truly amazing.)

Dr. Larry Snyder is the Transportation, Logistics, & Network Design Department Editor of the Supply Chain & Logistics Focused Issue of IISE Transactions. Learn more about Dr. Snyder and the focused issue below!

OR/IE friends: Anyone interested (or know someone who might be interested) in teaching an upper-level undergraduate supply chain course at Lehigh U in Bethlehem, PA in spring 2024, as an adjunct? The course is heavily math/OR/optimization-based.
