Dooring is something every NYC cyclist is wary about, and can be often fatal. Support better bike infrastructure.

Worried about sharing elevators during #COVID? Columbia engineers have designed interventions for queuing safely without having to program any elevators. https://t.co/2tmYiRR65Y @DataSciColumbia @Adam235711 @saimali @EpiProfCharlie @Sunny__Zhou @Columbia @ColumbiaMSPH

I'm presenting my work at #INFORMS2021 at the VSD20. Control of Queuing Systems and Applications virtual room at 2:45 PDT today.

[Yeqing Zhou @Sunny__Zhou]

Check out our work "Queuing Safely For Elevator Systems Amidst A Pandemic"!!! Soon will be presented by my coauthor @saimali on October 24, 2:45 PM PDT.
In-person session on Wednesday morning (I am NOT jealous at all!!!🥲)

Great point

[ACM EAAMO (Handle Retired, Visit @EAAMO_ORG) @ACMEAAMO]

Technology will not create systemic change on its own. We need to design to build new relationships! #EAAMO2021

[ACM EAAMO (Handle Retired, Visit @EAAMO_ORG) @ACMEAAMO]

Dr. Gray: The absence of regulation is noteworthy. We are in the early days, and that governance [of data markets] is critical to function. #EAAMO2021

[ACM EAAMO (Handle Retired, Visit @EAAMO_ORG) @ACMEAAMO]

Dr. Bergemann: Financial markets require a public governance structure, so that there is an equal opportunity to participate. In Data markets, we have basically no federal governance #EAAMO2021

Cuttlefish don't have the name recognition of their cephalopod cousins, the octopus and the squid. Maybe they should. https://t.co/nlawrtnC7p

I'm thrilled to share that I defended my thesis today! Thanks to my thesis committee and especially to my awesome advisor @Adam235711
Such a lovely journey @Columbia IEOR❤️

Looking forward to the next chapter @TUeindhoven as an Assistant Professor in the OPAC group😎

Research scientists working on optimal routing algorithms please weigh the effects of putting drivers in danger. Excellent reporting.

[Lauren Kaori Gurley @LaurenKGurley]

Scoop: Amazon's routing algorithm for its 85,000 delivery drivers pushes them to walk, run & sprint across 50 mph highways & busy commercial streets on foot, as a cost-saving measure. It is very dangerous.

I dug into how this algorithm works:

Looking for queueing literature that describes policies that go against FCFS/FIFO to improve overall wait times. (This is what we do in our elevator paper https://t.co/3JFUX9bJMS )

More AI isn't always good. Heavy scope for bias and discrimination here

@ashipra Congrats Shipra!

@SiddNambiar @Adam235711 Sorry to hear man. Terrible.

At least a millennium of careful breeding led to the bodacious betta fish you today find in pet stores and flea markets https://t.co/2IK5IkqFJP

[Sai Mali Ananthanarayanan @saimali]

I love tech free solutions that rely only on human behavior. TIL about Dutch Reach, an idea to reduce dooring (opening car doors hitting cyclists).

Drivers & passengers each use their *far hand* to open car doors, forcing them to swivel and look behind.
