AGENDA AND MINUTES
1. Updates:
- Women in space project.
- HA has been receiving feedback - thanks everyone!
- DB: best fit logistic curve.
- Forum to be determined after article is done. One set of possibilities is at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics - may have a conference we could submit it to. https://www.aiaa.org/events-learning/events has a long list of possibilities. HA may be able to present at a conference if we get something accepted.
- RS: WMSCI did not get reviews from 2 reviewers for VJB paper. They were contacted and the problem was resolved.
- VJB: currently finishing draft 1 of thesis. Expecting to finish next week!
- PT update: Gave some slides on DEA in general and TFDEA in particular.
- Other updates: Here is a way to pick the next reading. Read a paragraph or so of each and vote on a scale 1-5: 5=strongly agree, 4=agree, 3=neutral, 2=disagree, 1=strongly disagree. Best ranked reading would be chosen to read next.
2. Reading and discussion:
- The current plan is to review abstracts, or similar, of
possible readings before we pick the next paper to read.
- One candidate: https://hrcak.srce.hr/file/394111 is
a recent account of using DEA (which is part of TFDEA). We can recheck the
abstract or read the first paragraph and then decide.
- Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology. Let's find out more about it. We skimmed https://www.picmet.org/main/ and the question next is whether we want to read through the site in more detail. We can skim a little more before making a decision.
- The Institute for Progress. They address questions like what policies and social factors affect technological progress. We will try out a bit of https://progress.institute/immigration-powers-american-progress/ to see if we want to read it in full.
- Future possibility: https://ourworldindata.org/technological-progress
- https://www.planet4589.org/space/
- We found that the paper at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like it might be a good paper for us to read.
- Goldin et al., The Productivity Paradox, 2019.
- A background paper related to the women in space project: see SpaceTravelMetric-b6-5-16\PapersAndPresentations\femaleAstronauts\relatedArticles
- One of McDowell's yearly reports, available on the website.
- https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/techno-optimism-for-2022
- James Pethokoukis, https://fasterplease.substack.com/, tech foresight blog by former Jeopardy! champ.
- Chad Jones, https://web.stanford.edu/~chadj/, writes about endogenous growth theory.
- Pantelis Koutroumpis, The Productivity Paradox, a report.
- Some interesting videos are at the Kartik Gada channel such as at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuRX67CJhaOT98Jdjh85CEQ which we discussed previously.
- MH suggests a short book called Future Spaceflight Meditations, a cosmist perspective, by Jiulio Prisco, physicist formerly with the ESA.
- For general reference here are some generic questions about articles (and videos):
- What is the source?
- What is the most significant advance in the human
knowledge presented in the paper?
- Why is that advance important?
- What important questions arise from the paper for future
research?
- What important questions would it be nice if the paper
answered, but does not answer?
- What does the paper present that is novel (no one else
has provided that before)?
- What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite
research goals?
- Questions from the group?
