The first two videos, by Dr. Behzad and the net-biquitous Dr. Laura McLay (@lauramclay) of the University of Wisconsin, fall into the category of operations research. The aim of the channel, however, is more general. Quoting Dr. Behzad:
The goal of ORiginals is to promote science and engineering topics among the general public, using everyday language. We are featuring a diverse selection of scientists doing cutting-edge research. This is the first season of ORiginals and even though we aren't specifically OR/MS-focused, we'll have a slight bias in that direction with our guest selection, as David and I are both OR people.If you're interested in seeing quality research explained in lay terms, I highly recommend subscribing to the channel. If you're doing scientific/engineering research that has measurable impact (or the potential for measurable impact) in the real world (sorry, boson-chasers), and you'd like to spread the gospel, I suggest you contact one of the co-hosts. (They're millennials, so a DM on Twitter is probably more effective than an email message.
