Suppose I’m lecturing on trade.
Previously, I would have lecture slides and invite discussions.
Now, I might say “use AI to understand how trade liberalisation affected development, and why this varies worldwide”
Let them investigate for 15 mins, then review their answers

If you store a pdf on GitHub, like this:

This paper is a great example of solid evidence of systemic discrimination:
"Black taxpayers are audited at 2.9 to 4.7 times the rate of non-Black taxpayers."
This reflects a series of choices built into the IRS audit algorithm: focus on the EITC, and overclaiming of credits.

I was incredibly honored to be awarded the CSWEP Carolyn Shaw Bell Award. When I accepted the award, I talked about the importance of mentoring.
The lessons I pass on are kind of obvious. But they are important, so I am going to share them yet again. (A🧵)
