Was reading a recent issue of @science.org today and am thrilled to find a full-length article by Miami U MA grad (and current NYU job market candidate) by @joalkhafajiking.bsky.social. Well-done & thought-provoking study on PEC STEM gaps: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Huge, huge thanks to @shooshan.bsky.social who took on the work of compiling many more health economists than I had yet added to the Starter Pack. So many names I recognize for early health econ Twitter, and so many new voices that I don't but look forward to hearing from.

Here's my original Starter Pack of professors, researchers, and communicators of education policy and economics.

It's almost full but I'll shift some of the writers to the 1st pack above, so let me know if you're an ed policy or econ of ed professor/researcher who belongs here.
