I saw someone post a dozen+ AI slop papers purporting to solve niche open problems. This is antisocial behaviour and worse than if the problems stayed open.

0 people understand the solution, and there is no readable writeup. Also, incentive for either is removed.

"Writing is thinking." This phrase went viral recently (from https://t.co/4GDZHnm82U), often quoted in the context of objections to use of AI in drafting academic prose. In Nature Reviews Bioengineering we respond: "Thinking is not only writing." Preview below. Shareable full access link: https://t.co/ktHuPFcPga

What is stopping humanity from living peacefully together?

The greatest feeling you can have as a scientist is realizing you’ve discovered something that no one else in the world knows yet

When this happens, put your pencil down, take a deep breath and savor those three minutes before someone points out it was published fifty yrs ago

Personal reflection of undergrad math courses in business research based on my own experience from math undergrad -> OR PhD -> OM scholar. May be useful for math undergrads aspiring in a career in OM research👇

One of the greatest feelings you can have as a scientist is realizing you’ve discovered something that nobody else in the world knows yet.

When this happens, be sure to pause and savor those three seconds before the feeling passes.

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”

Three months before his death, Robin Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. But an autopsy later showed that he actually had Lewy body dementia - a devastating brain disease that shares characteristics with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Experts were stunned by how much the disease had ravaged his brain. One doctor said, 'This was about as devastating a form of Lewy body dementia as I had ever seen. It really amazed me that Robin could walk or move at all.'"

Had an amazing time at @LBS #TADC. Hope to see everyone soon in future conferences.

This nice paper by @CFCamerer @katy_milkman is very heartening. It shows that habits *can* be broken. So if done right, interventions to encourage healthy eating should create the needed demand for healthy options. 👇
