We often think of transportation infrastructure as a key driver of economic growth. And that’s true. But it also has a big environmental footprint -- one that’s often underestimated.

Hello everyone! I teach a class for graduate students on methods for reproducible research. 🔧 🔢 I would interested to hear about the barriers you face in implementing reproducible practices in your research (e.g., version control, code review, reproducible documents).

The Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo, who died on Monday at 58, was known for his trademark finger wag, a provocative pose he used to dissuade players from challenging him at the rim. He retired with the second-most blocked shots in NBA history. nyti.ms/3Y6JO4t
Dikembe Mutombo is wearing a gray suit and a striped tie, and is holding a basketball. The text reads: "1966 to 2024, Dikembe Mutombo, a Toweing NBA Presence Dies at 58." Photo by Ruby Washington/The New York Times.

An update on real wages. Real wage growth continues to be strong. For non-managerial workers (80% of private workforce), wages above pre-pandemic trend after accounting for inflation. And the reduction in wage inequality from tight labor markets of 2021-2023 has persisted. #EconSky 📉📈

People are posting about AC and climate so a few reminders: - globally, heating causes 4x (!) the GHG emissions as cooling - yes, cooling needs will grow as the planet warms, but heating emissions will still be higher than cooling by 2050 - more cooling is essential for human health on a warming 🌎

Under almost every plausible scenario, the climate in 2050 will be suffering more from heating homes than cooling them.
