Love to see this story on the front page of The NY Times! Thank you @scwolla.bsky.social ! #FREDisindeedawesome

My first was a red 1989 Honda CRX (like this one). Loved it so much. It was so light you could nose into a parking spot and then get a friend to help drag the tail in. external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%...

Celebrate the submissions, be calm about the decisions—Lots to celebrate today! #ctree2025 #assa2025 #eea2025

I've posted several times about the working paper, but the publication on "AER: Insights" is a good occasion to do it again: immigrants to the US have been less likely to be incarcerated for over 50 years **even without controlling for demographic characteristics.**

Totally true—we need to unteach misconceptions as much as teach new concepts in our intro courses. At least it gets better in the more advanced courses

I am getting more engaged on here and looking to help. I created a #Teachecon starter pack but want to make sure I didn’t miss anyone. Here is what I have so for, please share with reply with who I missed

I’ve heard wonderful things about this department AND Purdue as an institution seems to really value Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) #teachecon

The CTREE submission deadline (Dec 1) always conflicts with the Thanksgiving holiday, but the calendar makes work life balance particularly tough this year. #teachecon

As much as I hate grading exams, it is really valuable to learn what mistakes your students are making

Just discovered the Science Fiction Book Review Podcast—Great for having semi-conversations about books you’ve read in case no one you know has also read them! Thx @lukeburrage.bsky.social and Juliane Kunzendorf Berlin (not yet on Bsky)

Sad not to be at #SEA this weekend-My flight got so delayed I was going to be arriving in DC at 3am (assuming no further delays) so I just drove home. Hope to see everyone at CTREE!!

Free at last!

First post! Duke’s policy school is trying to hire two awesome Econ lecturers—can some folks that actually know something about teaching apply for these please? academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/26469
