Interested in a Fed job? Please note the often very short application windows. Look at the requirements for jobs and have everything prepped and ready in your USAJobs profile, including: 2 page resume (not a typo) and transcripts also google "OPM essay questions" and prep drafts (3/3)

Because of factors including the America Competes Act of 2024, there have been a lot of changes in Federal hiring and our office was unable to post in JOE, but we have an opening with more to come (this is for a GS-14, requires experience): www.usajobs.gov/job/887347300 (1/3?)

In my copy, the index is nearly 50 pages and really detailed. Same TOC though.

Exactly! I loved it so much and then that happened. On a reread, I skipped the epilogue.

And I've admittedly only heard the podcast,but Johnson, Rachel, and @cwolfram.bsky.social in the AER on price caps for exhaustible resources blew my mind. Of course, different model assumptions lead to different outcomes in the abstract, but still! www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Armitage et al on oil and gas wells (liability,etc) along with Stephanie Weber's new work made me think a ton about transferable environmental liabilities. Possibly super relevant to grant programs,but I need to learn more.

My phone has never once popped the air quality on the home screen (alerts as notifications, sure). Maybe it's never been above Code Red where I live. This is fine

Also read Earthlings,which has some similarities in that the POV character is a woman who doesn't quite fit in and rejects the role society assumes for her. But it took some DARK turns that made it hard for me to enjoy.

I would be so cooked. See also, "don't tell my kids that there's a Legoland in Japan." I think we've now covered most of their obsessions.
