A truly awesome aspect of @isenbergumass.bsky.social is its focus on creating global citizens and inclusive leaders - thanks to Dean Anne P. Massey, our administrators, faculty, staff and, most of all students - more on great service work & experiences: www.isenberg.umass.edu/news/isenber...

President Trump’s latest tariffs sent shock waves throughout Asia, heaping additional turmoil on companies already grappling with uncertainty, while adding further complexity for trade officials ironing out the details of recently struck trade agreements.

This is a must read by @nickkristof.bsky.social. I saved my hard copy version.

Today I'm bringing Atkins cider donuts (the fragrance alone is intoxicating) for my Transportation & Logistics class @isenbergumass.bsky.social. On Tuesday, I posed a challenging question and told them that if someone provided the correct answer, I would do so, and a student in the front row did.

Thank you for coming to KSE! Conservation of flow - last week @isenbergumass.bsky.social we hosted a faculty member from KSE - Full Professor of Economics Oleh Nivievskyi, who is also a great collaborator.

Grateful for the much needed rain today in @townofamherst.bsky.social. Wonderful day for lots of research and a hike in the rain.

It's always wonderful to have a paper published. Today, our paper, "A spatial price network equilibrium paradox," co-authored with @hawkeceprof.bsky.social and @ismaelpour.bsky.social, was published in @springernature.com Optimization Letters link.springer.com/article/10.1... #orms #networks #trade

Happy 1st day of Fall in the northern hemisphere!

An important read. We continue to conduct research on various types of risk and insurance coverage.

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/n... I will mention this in the Transportation & Logistics class that I am teaching @isenbergumass.bsky.social.

I was very touched to receive this beautiful hand embroidered (on both sides) case from a Professor who brought it back from Ukraine, where she visited her family this summer.

Wonderful initiative. Thanks for your volunteer work in support of food security in our region!

Today is the International Day of Peace. For Ukrainians, peace means schools instead of shelters, life instead of death, and hope instead of fear. While russia destroys, Ukrainians defend their right to a just peace. Stand with them. u24.gov.ua/donate/defen...

Met the legendary Willie Nelson tonight at Farm Aid. For 40 years, he has championed family farmers and tirelessly advocated for our rural communities. And he’s still going strong at 92!

My blogpost on the outstanding presentation by Dr. Oleh Nivievskyi in @umassinforms.bsky.social Speaker Series @isenbergumass.bsky.social annanagurney.blogspot.com/2025/09/outs.... Thanks to all who made the visit of our distinguished colleague from the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) so pleasant.

Thrilled that the presentation by Dr. Oleh Nivievskyi in our @umassinforms.bsky.social Speaker Series today has made the @umassamherst.bsky.social homepage! He will be speaking on Ukraine and recovery and reconstruction.

Our distinguished speaker Professor Oleh Nivievskyi of KSE arrived last evening and we had a lovely dinner al fresco at the Whately Inn. Very much looking forward to his talk and all the discussions hosted today by @umassinforms.bsky.social @isenbergumass.bsky.social. Lots of travel he had!

Everyone deserves to breathe clean air www.wsj.com/articles/the...

Looking forward to teaching my Transportation & Logistics class @isenbergumass.bsky.social this morning and then welcoming Professor Oleh Nivievskyi from KSE! There was a travel kerfuffle but he should be heading to our area from DC soon. His talk is tomorrow: www.isenberg.umass.edu/calendar/uma...

I just received a congratulatory message from a senior statesman in my discipline who is in the UK, where it's midnight. I'm so grateful for the truly extraordinary professional society that I'm a member of. And, yesterday morning, I received congratulations from a former President of the society.

We have done a lot of research on agricultural and food supply chains and the impacts of tariffs. The challenges now facing farmers in the US because of imposed tariffs and retaliations hurt - case of soybeans and China www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b... We can't afford to lose a generation of farmers!

⚡️Russia operates 'potentially unprecedented system' holding Ukrainian children in 210 facilities, Yale researchers say. "The impact of the alleged crimes perpetuated by the Russian government is likely to leave generational scars," the report reads.

A must read article by Andrew E. Kramer in the @nytimes.com on work by the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/w...

Feels really good to have done, bright and early this morning, the galleys (only 1 trivial query) of the paper, "A Spatial Price Network Equilibrium Paradox," co-authored with @hawkeceprof.bsky.social and my @isenbergumass.bsky.social PhD student @ismaelpour.bsky.social. Off to teach soon! #orms

Heading to the @townofamherst.bsky.social Farmers Market with my euro Leeds conference bag and OR hat!

Congratulations to my @isenbergumass.bsky.social PhD student in Operations Management @ismaelpour.bsky.social for passing his comprehensive exam today with thanks to his committee members: Professors Senay Solak and Hari Balasubramanian. Our comp exam consists of both a written part and an oral one.

Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I wrote a remembrance a few years back annanagurney.blogspot.com/2011/09/mty-... #NeverForget

When you get told that you are on an international prize committee (today) and have to provide rankings in 9 days.

The other day I received an email message from a Nobel Prize winner who apologized to me for not responding sooner (we are working on several committees together) because he was writing a paper. That I find very inspiring - continuing to do research even after the Nobel Prize.

Fascinating results in neuroscience and decision-making www.cnn.com/2025/09/09/s... Yes, it's for mice but still super cool.

Excellent OpEd by our former @umassamherst.bsky.social Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy "Swamy" in the Lexington, KY newspaper on #academicfreedom: www.kentucky.com/opinion/op-e...

You know that you have had a great class when neither you (the instructor) nor the students want it to end and the students come up afterwards to chat and chat. I am so lucky to have such intellectually curious and very interesting students @isenbergumass.bsky.social @umassamherst.bsky.social .

As the Faculty Advisor to the @informs.bsky.social @umassinforms.bsky.social Student Chapter, I am looking forward to a wonderful new #orms year of activities. Great to see the Chapter holding its election for officers. Congrats to the new slate of officers websites.umass.edu/umassinf/min...

Yesterday, @hawkeceprof.bsky.social got our COVID shots and today a student in my class emailed me that he had tested positive for COVID and would be missing class tomorrow and probably Thursday (which, I suspect is wise).

Two visitors, one a fawn, to our backyard as we were having breakfast this morning.

I stopped by the @isenbergumass.bsky.social mailroom today and found a lovely postcard from NYC from a former student of mine who graduated in May and has a very exciting job there. Nice to be remembered.
