By far, the best part of being in academia is to support the evolution of kind, curious, and smart young people into power-house researchers, with the idealism and analytic skills it takes to tackle hard important problems. @salonigupta435 , I learn from you every time we meet.

Esta nota ilustra la necesidad de concientizar a los periodistas acerca de métodos de evaluación de impacto. Los estudios que se citan no están diseñados para medir el impacto. Y hay varios estudios rigurosos que demuestran que programas similares no mejoran el aprendizaje.

It might be too meta to post this here, but @CappellaElise organized a wonderful event at @nyusteinhardt on media engagement for academics. Here are my brief slides, in case they're helpful: . Any thoughts on how to get peers on Twitter are very welcome!

The best thing about #EconTwitter is that people are even lovelier in person. I’m still fangirling about meeting @jenniferdoleac , thrilled to see @mosenkis ’ humor in person, and elated to reconnect with a former TA of mine, @janzilinsky ! @alexeble , you owe me a Diet Coke party :)

I highly recommend this @ThisAmerLife episode on how the American Psychiatric Association decided in 1973 that homosexuality was no longer a mental illness. A fascinating story about the role of evidence, activism, and professional networks.

This might be my favorite @Radiolab episode ever. On the history of AIDS activism, the tradeoff btw symbolic and raw approaches to activism, a time where a non-trivial share of the American public *hated* @DrFaucci , and how he responded. Don't miss it.
