Scholarships for African Students - deadline coming up - see below.

Note that GRE test at a good level is required. Competitive students who can only take it in coming weeks can submit application by the deadline, and add GRE later. They better let me know by DM!!!!

I am thinking of making my DiD materials that I used for teaching in the last 5 years available.

I am hoping these would find begineers in need of a step-by-step opinionated walkthrough of several developments

Let’s see if I find the energy to do this!
