The INFORMS Analytics+ Conference showcased how companies are turning advanced analytics and AI into measurable operational results
Museums take this educational role seriously, and many institutions understand the need to sustain and broaden their appeal. “They used to be these big ivory towers of knowledge and history and thought and art,” said Hilary Knight, director of Change& in London and former director of digital at Tate. “Museums themselves are changing their role to be centers for discussion and encounter and to be much more participatory.”
President Donald Trump is back at it with his tariff threats for pharma, promising massive levies on generic drug imports starting in 2028.
The president’s proposal — which was announced on Truth Social and has yet to be solidified via an official proclamation or notice — is framed as a push to encourage domestic drug manufacturing.
Trump outlined a 100% tariff on generic drugs originating from outside the U.S. starting on Aug. 1, 2028, which would be increased to 200% the following year.
But the conditions that have long kept generic drug manufacturing out of the U.S. largely haven’t changed and Trump’s most recent plan might only succeed in making drugs more expensive while failing to bring factories stateside, according to Tinglong Dai, the Bernard T. Ferrari professor of business at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.

In Kalamazoo, Mich., a stretch of land the size of a football field has been turned into a staging ground outfitted with 350 large freezers, ready to take delivery of millions of doses of Covid-19 vaccine before they can be shipped around the world.
Health authorities, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies are storing Covid-19 vaccines in secure, undisclosed locations and taking other steps to protect the shots against a looming threat: theft. As the leading vaccine candidates advance closer to use, vaccine makers such as Pfizer Inc. are deploying GPS software for tracking distribution and plotting fake shipments in dummy trucks to confuse criminals.
Who can forget the the bare supermarket shelves that marked the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic? Everything from toilet paper to canned soup was in short supply, and each trip to the grocery store was a grim lesson in how deeply the virus had disrupted our lives.
Telehealth has become more common given the current global pandemic. COVID-19 has limited doctor's office and hospital visits to ensure safety for as many people as possible. But rather than diminish the quality of care, new research in the INFORMS journal Information Systems Research finds that wider use of telehealth in the emergency room can yield positive results for both patients and providers.
Quantum computing is but one of the forms of unconventional computing racing to disrupt our world as we know it. In this talk, Professor Sridhar Tayur discusses a magical form of unconventional computing that uses lasers that may outrace quantum.
