- I was so lucky to be able to have Danny Kahneman as a best friend and collaborator for decades. He usually ended our conversations with "to be continued..." but I now have to simulate his part which is impossible. My favorite image of us "working".
- The work that won today's Nobel in medicine (and saved millions of lives) "was summarily rejected by the journals Nature and Science". Keep trying. Journals are often resistant to new ideas.
- Note to self: example of reverse causality.Chris Wallace only interrupted Joe Biden 15 times. Wallace interrupted President Trump 76 times! #Debates2020
- I do not know any economist who thinks Trump would be a good President, or who thinks he would be good for the economy. And of course, tariffs are not paid by other countries! Fellow laureates agree:
- This is a policy I have long supported. First step toward cashless and good start on reducing corruption.Indian PM Modi: 500 and 1000 rupee notes no longer legal tender as of 12 am local time (1:30pm ET) - Time of India bit.ly/2eirIId
- It is hard to think of another sports move that combines this degree of pure athleticism and in-the-moment improvisation. Wow.Replying to @FIFAWorldCup @richarlison97 and @CBF_FutebolPerfection

We should be grateful to people like Atul who has taken time from his medical practice to help the poor, sick and starving around the world.The shut down of USAID and its activities that reach hundreds of millions is already harming humanity and America. foxnews.com/video/63682071…

Logic.We’re going to cancel every penny of student debt, and we’re going to pay for it with a modest tax on Wall Street. Wall Street doesn’t like that, but to hell with Wall Street.
- Brilliant piece by Michael Lewis. Needs to go viral so please RT

- I could decorate an entire house with such letters. Keep fighting and improve your pitch! Also, I have found that the outlet is not as important as most think. Good papers get discovered.This is the rejection letter for the work that just won the Nobel Prize. I read that @R_Thaler work who won him Nobel prize was also rejected by reviewers but the editor was smart enough to go against the referees decision and publish it any way. #AcademicTwitter @NobelPrize
- Bankers: you could all benefit from some reputation-enhancing actions. May I suggest one? Give all furloughed government workers a grace period on mortgage, credit card and other debt payments until paychecks are received. And make applying *easy*.
