On Friday, April 24th, 2026, the Atlas hosted its third annual research conference, titled “Resillience: Overcoming Global Challenges of the Past, Present, and Future.” It was hosted jointly by Editor-in-Chief Jack Whitten and Conference Co-Chair Tatiana Azouri, with the venue and refreshments generously provided by the Pardee School at Boston University. We had five wonderful presentations on various topics.
