I am glad to see my colleagues in math and other STEM fields circulating this grievance. I appreciate their humility and focus in keeping it limited to their own fields and expertise, but a lot of non-STEM faculty would also love to see the UC return to the SAT.

Dear @Hertz, you have real issues. It took me an hour of your chat and voice bots telling me that they could not fulfill my request, without any ability to explain why, to get to a live agent (you also could not help but at least knew why).

📊 How can managers confidently use data for strategic decisions?

Watch here: https://t.co/OSk3dAY794

Prof. @OSorenson (@uclaanderson) explores the causal inference problem - distinguishing correlation from causation. His research shows how organizational design helps:

✅ Enabling controlled experimentation
✅ Encouraging diverse data sources
✅ Reducing biases in analysis

Beyond decision-making, he uncovers why regions like Silicon Valley thrive. Honored with the 2018 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research, his insights are a must-read! 🔍
