I had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Johnson about his upcoming book Community Based Operations Research in a Punk Rock OR Podcast (21 minutes). It’s a fantastic book: I recommend that you ask your university library to add it to their collection. If you are heading to the INFORMS Annual Meeting and are interested in CBOR, you might want to check out the two panels that Michael Johnson is chairing.
If you cannot wait for your copy of CBOR to arrive in the mail, I recommend reading Michael Johnson and Karen Smilowitz’s INFORMS Tutorial on CBOR. It’s a must read!

This was a fantastic interview, thanks! I was really getting into CBOR until he recommended I take a sociology class.
Seriously though, I hope this kind of thing grows in the future.

Tim, Thanks! I’ve never taken a sociology class either. I think I would have trouble in one. I was surrounded by sociologists for two days at a conference, and I couldn’t bottle up my quantitative side.
