I recently joined the editorial board of @PLOSONE and I will like to send requests for refereeing to anyone who wants to gain experience, esp. juniors and advanced PhD students. Please email me if you are interested. #EconTwitter

- Every journal acceptance is special, but this one means the world. Our #RCT on girls’ education & bicycle access in Zambia began in 2016. After years of work, 7 rejections, and revisions, it’s finally found a home at @EJ_RES! Grateful to @basit_ak_zafar & two generous referees.
- This is a crazy email! I cannot imagine a chaired Prof @Harvard doing this. So sorry Jade. This should not happen to anyone!
- #Announcements - as of now all 4 RAs of mine have a funded offer! I cannot express my joy and so proud of them! #EconTwitter #phdchat #PhdEconAdmission
- Great way to end Friday! Got a large grant from @JPAL for an imp RCT work on Debiasing Male Police officers in India! Extremely excited to restart the work (we had lost funding, but didn’t give up)! This is with very passionate co-authors @g_borker @sofiafamaral @micasviatschi
- A nice present on a snowy day! We received an acceptance based on #PAP from Journal of Development Economics! This is a very #creative #intervention I have been part of! Thanks to my coauthors (@raisasherif, @Shantanu__K, @AbhiroopMukho, @rchaurey, @smconstantino), @DaiResearch!
- The simplest intervention I ever studied (with @karthik_econ) ended up transforming girls’ education in Bihar: the Chief Minister’s Bicycle Scheme. I began as a skeptic. The data proved me completely wrong. 🧵👇 @NitishKumar @sunilkbv @ndtvindia @AEAjournals @narendramodi

- After a long time I was beyond excited to get an acceptance (felt the same excitement for my first publication, which was also #JDE).
- I am very excited also #emotional to share that my wife @nirajana_phdmom defended her #PhD today. She is now Dr. Mishra! Very proud of what she has achieved. It will be unfair if I don't share her #Perseverance .Congratulations to Dr. @nirajana_phdmom, who pulled together a fantastic dissertation on short notice!
