I am very excited about a new project by Banafsheh Behzad (@banafsheh_b) and David Morrison (@drmorr0) promoting operations research. Their project is a YouTube channel called ORiginals: outstanding research in everyday language. I may be a bit biased because their first episode is about my research (Thanks Banafsheh and David!), but I think you will agree that the final product is gorgeous and leaves me anxious more.
Both Banafsheh and David are young OR professionals and both are already movers and shakers in our field. Banafsheh is a Professor of Information Systems at California State University, Long Beach and David is a Research Scientist and Director at a small startup. Banafsheh’s research is in healthcare and David was a finalist in the Doing Good with Good OR competition a couple of years ago. Both are very familiar with talking about OR with a societal impact, and that really comes through in their project. Their YouTube channel is brilliant, and it is great for our field! Please subscribe (do so here) and help spread the word.
