Professor Jim Flynn (@jimflynn9.bsky.social) will start off our seminar series on Friday, Sept 4th presenting, "When the moon makes you drive like you've had too much wine: The lunar cycle and fatal car crashes." This was also coauthored with 2 of our previous MA students from last year's cohort.

Some of the worst anxiety of my life was in the summer of 2007 when I did an internship in Boston and had to drive everywhere using printed out Mapquest direction.

Five year old has discovered that if she lets her brother (2) pick what to watch first in the morning, that she will get a longer turn after him. Girl basically created the Marshmallow Test for herself.

Are you at #WEAI in Denver and interested in how sleep-loss increases fatal car accidents? Come see me present two papers with novel ID addressing this, including my favorite titled paper of all-time: "When the Moon Makes You Drive Like You've Had Too Much Wine" Details below.

I think it’s fine to have a mediocre player who is a great pundit on a panel like this. Unfortunately, the gap between Henry/Zlatan and Lalas in punditry is just as big as the gap in footballing ability, which makes it painful to watch.

Many "what's up with kids these days?" dinner table conversations turned into a co-authored NBER WP with my stepson that was covered in the New York Times this morning. Didn't have that on my life bingo card. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/u...

I know this is an arbitrary milestone but I admit am still quite proud of it. I added it up and this took 32 journal rejections so almost a rejection for every three citations!

I feel like the correct move here is to tell the AI to mention something super obscure and specific in the referee report and then mention it to the editor in your cover letter?

I decided to become a “fake man” in college when I ordered a frozen margarita at a Mexican restaurant and my friend said ‘real men don’t order frozen drinks’ Hard pass on a life without tequila slushies.

There are many disturbing aspects regarding the unlawful deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. To me, the scariest part is the utter disregard for human life—the complete indifference to the fate of an innocent man. Today its Kilmar; tomorrow this can be any of us.

I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.
