Loved teaching Simulation this semester! 🌟 My students tackled real-world challenges: optimizing assortments, replenishing inventory, and staffing call centers. Check out how simulation brings decisions to life with visualizations! 📊👇 #Simulation #Education #OpsResearch

@EmilyLTucker Haha, so true. Can’t remember how many technical hurdles were overcome when walking my dog. Have to and have started to acknowledge my pet dog in publications.

@Andrew_Akbashev Mentoring and working with students can be incredibly enjoyable, fulfilling and meaningful. However, regrettably, many individuals and institutions fail to recognize its significance.

@jenheemstra @Karmel_Shehadeh It reminds me of the following: “The more you know, the more you realize you don't know.” — Aristotle

@njoybetz This kind of frustration is felt widely across academia. Probably won’t attract much attention until people fled in big numbers.

[Xu Sun @sunxu1119]

@peter_richtarik Empathetic towards your situation. I am baffled by this because I’ve been teaching DTMC and CTMC. I wonder if I should change “C” to something else. A perplexing world.

[Xu Sun @sunxu1119]

@MichaelLHamilt3 Exactly. Also the net present value thing. Don’t know why many decision models courses need to cover that.

[Xu Sun @sunxu1119]

The best INFORMS conference ever. Get to know new people. More importantly, it was a reunion with many old friends😃.

[Xu Sun @sunxu1119]

@prof_Bragin Feel you. I have sore legs.

[Xu Sun @sunxu1119]

@Adam235711 I genuinely believe you are a role model for many young scholars who have just begun their careers, particularly in student advising.
