If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.

Since August, Manaus in the Amazon has been covered with smoke from forest fires with little public awareness. That’s unfortunate. Rafael Araujo, Teevrat Garg, and I studied what happened when Amazon forest fires went viral in August 2019.

Clean coding was always about collaborating with others, including your future self. Now others include GitHub Copilot. Use proper function signatures and good function and variable names, and Copilot will be better able to help you. As soon as I entered `if`, Copilot could fill in the rest.

A sleepless night + teaching day = I was late to the Nobel news party. Rupi Kapur describes my feelings better than I can express myself. Feeling immense gratitude to Claudia Goldin for paving the way for female economists like me.
