I would also like to thank isee systems for developing products, such as, Stella Architect and the isee exchange and providing services, such as, teaching to aid those who use system dynamics from beginner to expert levels. Below is a poem I wrote about Karim.
Karim, “The Dream”
Is someone you’d want on your team
To model, manage and code
Guide you along the road
Of learning system dynamics
He is calm when others are frantic
He is a tough but fair grader
Will push you to do greater
Like his team at isee systems
Who are full of SD wiSDoms

I cut the music track from 0:465-1:20 and kept the next 6.85 seconds then moved the rest of the song to the end of the podcast and trimmed the end (~ 21 seconds off) to fit the podcast ending
