    In other good news today, so great to see this paper finally out for a project we started way back in 2014! Thanks to @JPAL_SEA, ARC and NIMH for funding and to the @QJEHarvard referees and editors for taking a chance on us and making the paper stronger!

    Thanks @femonomics. Today I'm reviewing the literature on sex market regulation for a policy brief. Why do so many white feminists oppose decriminalization and/or legalization(based on scant evidence), while black & brown women are the ones being arrested/fined for SW in the US?

    We are also facing a child education crisis. I want to know your plan to get my children back to K-6 ASAP. They have been sitting at home since March. From a tired working mom and voter.
    NEW: We’re facing a climate crisis. We need bold action. CA is phasing out the internal combustion engine.
 By 2035 every new car sold in CA will be an emission free vehicle. Cars shouldn’t give our kids asthma. Make wildfires worse.
 Melt glaciers. Or raise sea levels.

    Thanks for organizing this seminar and the amazing lineup. It would be great to see more junior people featured on the program given the lack of in-person seminars/conferences!
