My kids’ school district did 3 hour early release once a month for teacher development. The superintendent now says that because test scores were up this year the program was a success. Also, to improve upon this success the dates will be moved from Mondays to Wednesdays.

I had assumed that given the Peltzman effect a sharper knife would make me safer. Unfortunately I was constrained by my mental focus capacity.

The day after my first was born I was sitting and holding him and said to my wife, “He’s already so big, it feels like he was born just yesterday.” And that’s how you almost die by telling a dad joke.

Jay Bhattacharya picked as new NIH director. Jay wrote me my first ever journal rejection letter. I also now have a textbook that competes with his textbook. These are unrelated…probably

My book came out one year ago. It was the most fun I’ve had writing professionally. Thank you so much to everyone that has read it or used it. Knowing that people are enjoying it makes me so incredibly happy. Dad jokes are a pedagogical tool. www.amazon.com/Economics-He...

How do we fund research into antivirals that we don’t need yet but could need badly? Each bet is risky, but a bundle of bets can spread the risk and make for a better investment. It also acts as a hedge in portfolios against pandemics. Read more here: www.milkenreview.org/articles/the...
