I am extremely proud of my student, Gaby for successfully defending her MS thesis in Quantitative Economics at WIU. In her thesis, she explores the relationship between prosociality and siblinghood from a behavioral economics perspective. A huge thank you to the faculty on her thesis committee.

I see more people flying with their pets these days and I have to wonder who are these people and who are these pets, all my pets are chaos demons and if I put any of them on a plane they would chew straight through the fuselage in order to escape

What a shitshow all around us. Humans, who are supposed to be the superior species, lack basic empathy. Is it really too much to ask for people to be decent, recognize others’ pain, let others live freely, love who they want, and just be kind?

On the bright side, no more boring theory this semester! We get a front-row seat to a live case study on supply chain collapse, trade wars, and various other economic disasters.

You aren’t Nepali if you don’t crave momos in cold weather. Made myself a steaming bowl of hot momo soup. If it’s not red, it’s not hot enough—so I dumped a ton of spicy garlic oil. #nepalifood #foodphotography

Why are Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia outliers on fertility?
Btw, Botswana is richer than India, Kazakhstan is richer still. Both have a much higher fertility rates...
That should be my exam question next year... 🙃

Snagged a shot of the coolest duo in the solar system: the Moon and Mars! Definitely not the best, but hey, I made it work with my EF-S 55-250mm lens. Mars is the tiny red dot on the lower left, at 15° (approx) angle #Astrophotography #CanonM50

I might need to add this topic to my spring ethics of public health syllabus: “growing research has linked drinking, sometimes even within the recommended limits, to various types of cancer… alcohol directly contributes to 100,000 cancer cases & 20,000 related deaths each year Dr. Vivek Murthy

Surgeon General Calls for Cancer Warnings on Alcohol
Dr. Vivek Murthy’s report cites studies linking alcoholic beverages to at least seven malignancies, including breast cancer. But to add warning labels, Congress would have to act.
