Census projects on gender identity/"DEI" topics are being paused...

It's absurd (repressive) to halt ALREADY IN PROGRESS academic research on topics you dislike.

The data we share with Census is OUR data. We deserve to learn as much as we can (as responsibly as we can) from it.

Anyone else have login fatigue for referee requests. Someone explain web of science and orcid, neither of which ever work for me when trying to login to submit a report. There's gotta be a better way.....

This time 10 years ago, my PhD cohort was sending out the last batch of applications, refining job talks, and nervously awaiting interview requests at the AEAs. Good luck to all the job candidates out there! The #econsky 's the limit.
