Listening to the WORAN Land lecture by Celia Hoyles now, with a terrific audience, thanks to @theorsociety.bsky.social!
This very powerful article with interviews of 4 scientists that have lost funding by @alanburdick.bsky.social in @nytimes.com hit me in the gut www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/c... The series will continue. What a horrific shame and so extremely shortsighted to cut scientific research funding.

We had a long weekend and several of my students are emailing me that they are sick and will miss class today. One is stuck in Vegas because of flight delays.
And extra cool that Professor Howitt was born in Canada, as I was www.brown.edu/news/2025-10...

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.
The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.

The key exchange follows a breakthrough ceasefire after two years of war. U.S. President Donald Trump was also arriving in the region along with other leaders to discuss the U.S.-proposed deal and postwar plans.

When will it be realized how important labor is to our #supplychains, including agricultural & food ones? My Labor and Supply Chain Networks book with many applications emphasizes the criticality of labor, fair wages and good working conditions for both producers and consumers. #orms #networks
Great hike this morning on the rail trail in @townofamherst.bsky.social.
It has been a great day for scientific presentations! After 5 @umassinforms.bsky.social talks we then heard Professor Kara Kockelman, thanks to Professor Jimi Oke. She is now on sabbatical at MIT from UT Austin. She gave a super talk @umassengineering.bsky.social this afternoon. #transportation
Thanks to all the wonderful presenters and attendees at the @umassinforms.bsky.social tune up today for the @informs.bsky.social conference in Atlanta! Attendance was great but not everyone made it to the photo.

I had spent a year @harvard.edu as a Science Fellow @rad-institute.bsky.social and was a Summer Fellow 2X. A highlight was publishing a paper with now Dean David Parkes & Prof Patrizia Daniele of Catania link.springer.com/article/10.1... The layoff news in SEAS hurts www.masslive.com/news/2025/10...
The Internet, evolutionary variational inequalities, and the time-dependent Braess paradox - Computational Management Science
In this paper, we develop an evolutionary variational inequality model of the Internet with multiple classes of traffic and demonstrate its utility through the formulation and solution of a time-dependent Braess paradox. The model can handle time-dependent changes in demand as a consequence of developing news stories, following, for example, natural disasters or catastrophes or major media events. The model can also capture the time-varying demand for Internet resources during a regular weekday with its more regular rhythm of work and breaks. In addition, the model includes time-varying capacities on the route flows due to, for example, government interventions or network-type failures.

Farmers, traders ‘flying blind’ as US shutdown blocks key crop data
U.S. data vital to global grain and soybean trading has gone dark during the federal government's shutdown, leaving commodity traders and farmers without crop production estimates, export sales data and market reports during the peak of the autumn harvest.

Air travelers rethink plans as US government shutdown causes flight delays, cancellations
The federal government shutdown is hamstringing the U.S. travel industry, and its effects are worsening as the stalemate in Congress continues.
