- Apparently, the new neighbors are fellow academics. I hope they're nice and if not I'll rename my WiFi to eduroam and make them go crazy over their login details not working...
- 🚨🚨 Why do we need to tell (most of) our graduate students how smart they are many times throughout their PhD? A short 🧵
- 🚨🚨Are you doing a Ph.D. in economics and are completely lost? @cp_roth and I have set up a website to bundle advice for all sorts of issues Ph.D. students may run into.
- Come do a PhD in the Netherlands, where graduate students are regular employees. Both of my grad students just bought a house...
- For everyone not following Dutch politics closely, what's being discussed for the future of higher education in this country is truly insane, not even indicted former US presidents could come up with something more stupid. Buckle up!

- I'm thinking about learning Python. Of course, I can always hire RAs to do my Python stuff for me, but I really don't want to become the equivalent of the old professor running regressions in Eviews (or the lawyer with the kitty face on Zoom).
