Roscoe, all 67 lbs of him, would also like to do the same.

Wrapping up a great #ABCDE2025 with a concluding “fireside chat” on human development in LMICs between Mamta Murthi, HD VP of the World Bank and CGD Senior Fellow and Education Program Director @daveevansphd.bsky.social

Text analysis of Congressional hearings shows that legislators interrupted Yellen (as Fed Chair) more and interacted with her using more aggressive language than they did with male Fed Chairs. But having a daughter reduces “hostility toward Yellen.” So depressing, completely unsurprising.

I came to the US as 17-year-old international student, arriving at Macalester College just two weeks before 9/11. Today, I’m back for my 20th reunion. In the decades in between, I have found unimaginable grace, love, and acceptance all across this great country.

Took me over two years, but I have finally found my way to @cgdev.org’s London offices. Looking forward to reuniting with my former CGD colleague @scepticalranil.bsky.social and former WB colleague Sam Asher at an event gender equality tomorrow at RHUL.

Apparently, 47% of all Americans are opposed to the US Constitution, which entitles all individuals living in these United States to due process; it makes no exceptions for “undocumented immigrants”. We live in an era of callousness, ignorance, and wanton cruelty.

The eggs are having a crisis, according to my (surprising poetic) local grocer.

Let’s learn from history! By repeating the worst of it. (Idi Amin’s expulsion of Indians also prominently featured here.) Just incredible work.

After a series of events curtailing childcare, I had my first real day in the office in over a month. I had warm fuzzies going shoulder-to-shoulder with other adult human beings on the metro this morning. I’m reminded of 3 excellent papers on the importance of childcare for maternal mental health.

Paging @owenozier.bsky.social who served up this assortment of cocktails (all batched to some degree) at a large gathering at his place

This is Roscoe. His papers say Boxer mix but I suspect he is part pony: about a year old, 57 lbs, and longer than I am tall (admittedly, I am not… tall). 😄

Great question! This is a nice paper (I teach it!) but for me, it is this real gem by @caitbrownecon.bsky.social and co-authors: direct.mit.edu/rest/article...
