The aquarium had a whole building showing fish/reptiles/etc. from inland waters (the focus of our paper), and it was fun to see so many fish from our study areas.

Y’all science is so cool.
(A) I’m at a quantum workshop in Chattanooga, cool in itself, and the reception is at the aquarium.
(B) These two fish are arapaima! They are massive. Gretch (lead of my fish paper) lived on a boat in the Amazon tracking them for nearly a year for her MS thesis.

We applied the framework to the problem of locating hand sanitizer stations on a university campus during COVID-19.
In general, we aim to present one option to add a bit of rigor to the process of stakeholder interaction and hope this could support better decisions in practice.

The framework is embedded in concepts from the field of Cognitive Systems Engineering.
Note how the modelers' perspectives on the problem (mental models) are shaped by interviews and affect the resulting model version.

The paper's goal is to present a framework to support the process of applied optimization model development.
We've observed that much modeling occurs in an iterative, though ad hoc way. The paper aims to provide a theoretical grounding for this process.
I.e., to support the figure's right panel.

I was at Western Carolina U today chatting about quantum computing. I had a great visit, and I love getting to drive through the mountains.

Findings (cancer drug case study):
Who is affected when a company doesn't plan for geopolitical strain?
- Company profit - minor (1-3% decrease)
- Patients - major (26-29% increase in shortages).
There are differences in shortages between countries of different income levels due to pricing

It's about global pharma supply chains, geopolitical strain, and drug shortages:
- We present a new model to locate facilities in spite of export ban risks.
- We evaluate shortages worldwide: under different levels of strain and different mitigation policies.
- We present a new model to locate facilities in spite of export ban risks.
- We evaluate shortages worldwide: under different levels of strain and different mitigation policies.

Finally, here's a map of the ratio for each basin:
The color indicates each basin's adaptive capacity index divided by its threat score.
High capacity vs. threats are in blue, and low capacity vs. threats are in red.

New applied paper: Adaptive capacities of inland fisheries facing anthropogenic pressures
Led by Gretchen Stokes in collaboration with colleagues at the UN and USGS.
Big question: what does resilience and vulnerability look like for global inland fisheries?

I had a great day visiting NC A&T’s ISE Department.
It was fun to talk about our research on global pharma supply chains with grad students and faculty, an REU program Clemson is hosting (more info to come!) with undergrads, and how to get involved in research with the IISE chapter.
