In May 2024, and again in March 2025, I visited the Glorious Sun Business School at Donghua University in Shanghai. I have been collaborating with Professor Bin Shen, researching the dynamics of some agricultural supply chains. It seems that changing the size of a breeding herd creates some very interesting dynamic consequences for several years into the future. Control theory provides a very powerful toolkit to understand this situation.

It has been a great adventure to Shanghai. Thank you Bin, your colleagues, and your PhD students for hosting me so well!
