We're hiring a research associate or research manager for a project in the DRC! This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in gaining very hands-on research and work experience in a low-income country in partnership with the local government. Also a great preparation for a PhD.

We get a lot wrong about the world - from others’ beliefs on gender norms, to the willingness of friends to discuss mental health, to the likelihood of contracting diseases. Today on @voxdev.bsky.social, I've summarised the evidence on common misperceptions: voxdev.org/topic/common...

Common misperceptions: What people get wrong about the world and why it matters

What do people get wrong, i.e. misperceive, about the world? Why do misperceptions matter for economic development? How can fixing misperceptions benefit society?

Long-overdue on 2024 recap of cool young researcher! #econtwitter #econsky My favorite part of social media + it's exciting to highlight a year's worth of exciting researchers. (Given cross-platform posting, won't link to the original 🧵s but direct to researcher sites)
