Amazing and sad article (gift link below) from the NY Times about "The Jungle" in Ithaca and the daunting challenges of homelessness, addiction, and mental illness. https://t.co/wMrR6FTPEO

@asusarla @TinglongDai @TayurSridhar @NaveenKPhD @jmswaminathan @emremd @tnetland Thanks for sharing. Can you summarize your vision for how a POM Journal review could work with AI?

[Vince Slaugh @VinceSlaugh]

@asusarla I think it means that we will need to treat those jobs more seriously!

[Vince Slaugh @VinceSlaugh]

@asusarla @TinglongDai @TayurSridhar @NaveenKPhD @jmswaminathan @emremd @tnetland Has anyone discussed the idea of having a standard AI reviewer report with which the other referees could engage? The value of the human referees could be more in weighing the pros and cons rather than in generating that initial list of pros and cons. #POMS2024 #edebate

[Vince Slaugh @VinceSlaugh]

@TayurSridhar As the author of one of my favorite papers combining analytical results + simulation, do you see AI as a more/less transformational research tool than simulation, which is also a "black box"-type tool but not a primary methodology for top journals? #POMS2024

[Vince Slaugh @VinceSlaugh]

@TinglongDai So is that what you were looking for? 🙃 #POMS2024 #edebate

[Vince Slaugh @VinceSlaugh]

@TheAtlantic @stephmurrayyyy For some of the most important labor-intense care operations, AI still seems frustratingly far off. Here's some great reporting on this in nursing homes. #POMS2024 #edebate

@sewistwrites Currently reading (with my son) Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Pretty awesome book to read while living in a mid-1800s upstate NY farmhouse! Also listened to Three-Cornered War by Megan Kate Nelson last year.

Love this chart depicting tensions in nurse work design priority by age. Surely applies to other service work. So many interesting ops research topics here! From: How to bridge the experience gap by supporting nurses of all tenures https://t.co/s1SMRpAilj via @McKinsey

[David Grabowski @DavidCGrabowski]

More staff are needed in US nursing homes. Yet in debate over minimum staffing std, stakeholders are talking past one another. In @statnews, David Stevenson & I argue we need better data on who owns nursing homes & how they are spending public dollars

[Adoption-Share @adoptionshare]

“In a world that feels like it falling apart, healthy adoptive families remind us that the ties binding us together are stronger than the differences trying to tear us apart. Culturally and ethnically diverse families aren’t just breaking molds- they’re shattering them, creating spaces where every story is not only welcomed but celebrated.”

We are so grateful for Barry’s voice and his leadership in this space. @iambarryfarmer @virginianpilot

@e_joseph_murphy @WarHistoryProf Fascinating topic. Lancaster Intelligencer / 79th PA is a good case study of this dynamic in Sherman's army. One 1864 change by the partisan Dem paper was to (finally) pick a correspondent post-reenlistment. Here's a post-war note (7/26/65):

I don't normally feature time study in the @CornellSHA core service ops class, but the students' beloved burrito station and the Service Physics app made for a compelling exercise.

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Sparked by a coincidental conversation with a @Cornell PhD student, we've been interviewing execs and writing a paper over the past year about unique staffing challenges and opportunities that tribal enterprises face. Hope to share more soon!

[Vince Slaugh @VinceSlaugh]

Congratulations to @Berenguer_Gemma on her newly published paper in Mgmt Science about the optimal mix of paid workers and volunteers for non-profit orgs. Fascinating work on which I hope to build! https://t.co/aFgtCdxyQV
