I’m spending most of my time on https://t.co/BapOEIOETO and https://t.co/cYgrHsxKDV these days.

@StaKLoPR @ReadTheSyllabus I started using Poll Everywhere to ask questions (active learning) and I end the first questions with 2 minutes of class starting. This lets me factor it into the grade.

@CoryMSimon Love it, although it does not take into account buying the skis as a commitment mechanism. A few summers ago, we bought a state park pass. At the end of the summer, we went to a beach on Lake Michigan five Sundays in a row to “get our money out of it”. Great family memories!

@CoryMSimon @pauldauenhauer @CoryMSimon love the “computational thinking” philosophy

[Alexander W. Dowling @DowlingLab]

@schmaidt Globalization including line search and trust region. Linear algebra review, e.g., eigendecomposition to characterize curvature of Hessian.

[Alexander W. Dowling @DowlingLab]

@CoryMSimon I do not know of any. But we should chat more over the summer. A great excuse to collaborate! Our course is designed around the temperature control lab. This gives a hands-on example that completes Transport II (heat, mass) the students are taking concurrent.

[Alexander W. Dowling @DowlingLab]

@DrChrisWilmer I believe they are fine as references.

[Alexander W. Dowling @DowlingLab]

@CoryMSimon @shantirrao @lpachter My students are doing semester final projects, so please share more examples of bio dynamical systems.

[Alexander W. Dowling @DowlingLab]

@CoryMSimon @shantirrao @lpachter I teach one too. https://t.co/TgaDo0z1r6

[Alexander W. Dowling @DowlingLab]

Really looking forward to 1.5 days of discussion on self-driving labs!

Excited to share our most recent article, “Computational toolkits for model-based design and optimization”! https://t.co/iCLVMAYHO7

@CoryMSimon For algorithms, yes I think it is common to share code or work on packages. Application specific analyses vary widely. It takes a lot of training to get a researcher writing good code. And I don’t think that is fully valued by the academic community.
