Here are the five lessons from Gurobi Optimization's panel on Academics Changing the World: 1. There are plenty of interesting non-profit or public sector problems. (Julie Aho, CSCP.. this is a point you've made-- I let my students know that you said this!) 2. The diet problem has interesting applications! 3. “Get data without being annoying” 4. Visualization and user interaction with the solution is important. 5. Get data from all stakeholders, not just the dominant voices. See the article for more details, including a link to a great INFORMS Edelman Prize winner: the UN World Food Programme. Thanks to Duke Perrucci for hosting. And, thanks to Karen Smilowitz, Ozlem Ergun, and Dick den Hertog for the great insights.

Real-world projects for students. “It’s also about being part of something bigger,” says Snyder, one of our inspiring faculty members in the Data Science (MSDA) program. “Seeing our data skills make a difference in the world is truly rewarding. For instance, we’ve worked on projects that had real-world impact, like improving health outcomes for mothers and babies in Indiana. Whenever I find projects that benefit others, I always get my students involved.” #Uindy #MSDA #DataAnalytics #UindyMSDA

Data and Analytics are the new future, no matter which profession you are into Data science and analytics are essential across all sectors, from management to medicine, as they empower professionals to make informed decisions based on evidence rather than intuition. In management, data-driven insights enhance strategic planning, operational efficiency, and customer understanding, leading to better outcomes. In healthcare, analytics can improve patient care, optimize resource allocation, and advance medical research. Overall, leveraging data helps organizations stay competitive, innovate, and address complex challenges effectively. Embracing data science is no longer optional; it’s a crucial skill for driving success in any field. #upgradnepal #mentorlabedx #oncologist #onlinelearning
