Hey #econsky #finsky!

What are the best books/articles about innovation I should read? Especially on the process from invention to market scale.

E.g. I read this Works in Progress article about new materials and how long it takes for them to take off in markets and found it very interesting 🤓

Numbers like these are why I’m in favor of the widespread adoption of AC in Europe

What’s the point of fighting climate change if you’re already dead because of the heat?
Heat claims more than 175,000 lives annually in Europe, latest data shows
A staggering 175,000 people die from heat-related causes every year in Europe and that figure is set to soar in line with our steadily warming planet. That’s the warning from the UN World Health Organ...

My brother co-published a paper @jpube.bsky.social be.bsky.social about the @zeit.de newspaper campaign, "Deutschland spricht".

Contrary-minded conversations can reduce affective polarization, but like-minded conversations can increase ideological polarization.

Genuinely horrifying.

20 million people receive HIV antiviral treatment from the program annually.

Mothers with HIV would transmit it to their infants at birth if not for perinatal antiviral treatment.

This should be resumed as soon as possible. Every day of delay means more lives lost.
This is a public health nightmare in the works.

Nobody voted for this.

"The Trump administration has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing H.I.V. medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics."

PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as Republican critics had hoped.

This is an important point. Not everyone survives hard times, but if you just give up and decide that the apocalypse is inevitable and nothing can be changed, you become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The future has yet to be written, but we can choose whether to fight for the world we want to create.
a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:

the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

We were discussing this topic over lunch in light of European politics - watch the video. now is not the time to give up or just hope for "others to be the check and balance for you" as @shengwuli.bsky.social puts it
I did a NYT video interview—along with voices from Hungary, Nicaragua, and Russia— about how repression works in authoritarian states.

@error.reviews is such a great initiative and this should act as a leading example of an authors' response for others to follow. 👏
We've had a paper reviewed by ERROR, which has concluded we had a "major error that affects a core conclusion"
Few comments on the conclusion and the process in general
1/n
New report! Hehman et al. (2018) "Disproportionate Use of Lethal Force in Policing Is Associated With Regional Racial Biases". Based on the review by @conjugateprior.org, we find a Major Error that affects a core conclusion. We recommend the authors seek a correction.

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research
