On Wednesday I am giving a seminar at the Minneapolis Fed. Every time I tell an economist* this, they say one of two things: (1) “Really? [You??]” (2) “Oof. Good luck.” Neither of these responses has bolstered my confidence.

Recently I started a Substack about economics and decision making. You might like it! Your students might like it! Your colleagues might like it! New post today in which I try to define economics (lmao) and show how it can help you choose things (like beer)! open.substack.com/pub/tenacity...

How many beers should I drink?
No, this is not a post about me emotionally processing the tariffs. Mostly.

A lot of crazy stuff in the Education Department’s letter but did Trump just make it illegal for schools to be test-optional?

I really enjoy grading. To be fair I work in a great context for it. My classes are like 25 students max and I have essentially complete autonomy over my assignments. But I also loved it when I was grading 200 Principles exams at UVA. I like the puzzle of figuring out what answers count. #TeachEcon

But then I wasn’t included in the “Fun Economist” starter pack so…a mixed bag overall.

I've made a starter pack for the Economics of Networks! 🕸️ This includes economic and social networks and wide range of methods: applied/econometrics and theory. I'm sure I have missed a lot. Please DM/reply with others, including self-nominations. go.bsky.app/4yrQJsw

When I set up VSCode on my new laptop, I chose the deep red background and my husband called it “sociopath behavior.”

Woke up to many new followers (👋🏻) so I thought it might be a good time for a picture of my dog, Luke.

Are you trying to get an academic job with a strong teaching focus? Are you advising someone who is trying to get such a job? Come to session 1.B.01 at Southerns on Saturday morning at 10:45!

This week I will be meeting with a firm that has data I would like access to. I believe it will be mutually beneficial if they share their data. I know that some of you on #EconSky📉📈 have some experience with this. What is your advice?

Just made the move from EconTwitter, so it's intro time! 👋 I'm a PhD candidate at UW-Madison. My research interests are in the economics of education and education policy (mostly higher ed), labor economics, and public economics. Oh, and a shameless plug that i am on the job market this year 😉
