🗓️ Hoje, 1º de abril, relembramos o golpe de 1964, que instaurou uma ditadura militar de mais de 20 anos no Brasil. Regime de censura, repressão e violência.
2025 também é marco de 40 anos da eleição indireta de Tancredo Neves, o primeiro presidente civil a após o regime militar.

Hello everyone.
I'm thinking about continuing my studies in Demography in graduate school. So I would like to ask for recommendations of researchers, institutes and journals in the area that I could follow, please! 😁

I remember the findings of this study in the Psychology of Poverty classes in the course “The Challenge of World Poverty” taught by the professor himself.
It was after these classes that I became very interested in the subject.

This reminded me of the study done in India by Dillon et al, 2016 on preschool mathematics.
In which the researchers used math games to test children’s math learning (showing results on learning) and how this is dispersed in later years due to the “traditional” curriculum.

Tiny clarification for teachers: When I explained that a subitizing exercise can be completed in 10 seconds, that includes discussing children's answers afterwards. The dots are flashed for a second or two (not 10 secs), then shown again for v brief discussion. hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

Migrating all economists, institutes and others from EconTT to BlueSky would be excellent for young academics at the beginning of their careers who no longer want to use the old Twitter.
Because, like it or not, many opportunities are still there, which makes abandoning it completely difficult.
