    This is a beautifully produced video where Paul and Bob talk about how they think about science and how much they love what they do, also how their minds work in different ways and complement one another. Show it to your older kids to inspire them!

    When I taught first year courses, it was very clear to me that a lot of the showmanship exhibited by first year grad students came from those who took the classes before, and this made other students feel inadequate. Important to warn students so they aren't discouraged!

    After 5 yrs of iterating on math, simulations, writing, we updated our working paper on clustering. Lots of time working on single formulation that captures intermediate cases, simple after-the-fact, math matches intuition.

    Hey #econtwitter, what are good examples or guidelines to teach students to make really nice figures and graphs for presentations of empirical work, for larger in-person talks or broad audiences, where readability is important? @OppInsights has beautiful slides, for example.

    Academic twitter--will there be a job market at all this year for assistant profs at top 25 U.S. research uni's? Are there *any* that have not announced hiring freezes? It makes a difference for student planning if the U.S. market will be "just dismal," or entirely dead

    Does anyone have recommendations (or offer services) for paid work reviewing applied econ papers for clarity, precision, English usage for non-native speakers, etc.? #EconTwitter

    Finally got one of my teaching tools out on the web--a simple app that lets you get a feel for how bandits work, and explore what settings make adaptive experiments worthwhile.
