    I hate to disappoint but Shakira’s tongue expression is called zaghrouta, a way to express joy in Arab culture. It also aludes to the dance “Son de Negros” at the “Carnaval de Barranquilla” where she is from in Colombia. Now you can go back to whatever interpretation you like 🤭

    Do you know where the name “Bluetooth” (for the wireless technology) came from? I didn’t until a few days ago. Harald Gormsson was the king of Denmark from 958 to 986. He was known for having united the different Danish tribes into a single kingdom. 🧵(1/4)

    Both of my parents have tested positive for #COVID19. My dad is asymptomatic, but my mom is pretty sick 😰. The airport in Colombia is still closed, and I’m stuck in the US... feeling absolutely powerless. This is terrifying.

    I have a great RA who I think could have grown to be a very good applied macroeconomist. He applied to grad school and got into Wisconsin, Maryland, UCDavis to name a few. I thought that was great! Today he told me that he had decided not to go to grad-school altogether. (1/5)

    This account just followed me. Blocked it immediately. EJMR Should be banned. It represents everything that is wrong with our profession, and we should have no tolerance towards it, much less, encourage the spread of its content.
