I was very curious to see how they would tie themselves into pretzels to explain why the Fed is different. I didn’t expect the answer to be “we don’t you an explanation”

🎓It’s a rare privilege to mentor someone like Ana—brilliant, curious, and kind. Ana’s research asks tough questions about gender, work, and family. Congrats, Dr. Karaban! 👏 #PhDone #EconSky @akaraban.bsky.social @remylevin.bsky.social @deliafurtado.bsky.social

Thought about suggesting ChatGPT for students to practice finding Nash equilibria, but with great reasoning like "5 > 6," maybe we're not quite there yet. #EconSky
(Down, Right):
Player 1 prefers Down (7 > 3 and 1).
Player 2 prefers Right (5 > 6 and 3).
This is a Nash equilibrium.

The proposed cuts to UConn are very draconian, but anyone else find humor in a pro-education-spending picket blocking entrance to the library?
Stop the Cuts! UConn Labor Coalition Information Picket in front of the library Tuesday 1/23 from 2 to 4 pm.
