Si se pudo csm!! I was awarded tenure at UVA Woohooo! I know this may be a "chill" event for many, but I'm allowing it to feel like a significant deal cause, at the start of the journey, I wasn't sure this would happen. I would love to share some thank-yous open 🧵 👇🏽

and I started a podcast. To celebrate, Alex made us some sweet water bottles. It’s been such a fun project amid the chaos. I don’t have wise insights, just thankful that I had the opportunity to do it. More and juicier topics coming out soon.
This week we (
@ajhollingsworth
) talk with
@JulianReif
on how to set up your research project folder. The idea is to create an empty folder that you can copy and paste whenever you are starting a new project. We also talk about Julian's research and workflow.

Hi Everyone! As the semester starts your students may be asking where to find data on "X" topic. There are lots of places to start and here is a document that can help with that search (Same as last year). But let me make some notes [1/4]:

I just ran a reg where I change the order of two variables with i. and gave me vastly different results. Is this possible? Does the order of FE matters in reg for STATA? (i.e i did reg y x i.z i.j != reg y x i.j i.z)
This paper is finally out! Lots of people are losing health insurance due to becoming unemployed right now. This can have severe financial implications on those individuals. This paper studies the event of losing health insurance, specifically Medicaid in Tennessee around 2005.

@UVABatten
! The position is for two-years, we want you to teach one class and it comes with research funds! We are pretty open on fields but you can see some preference in the posting below
Some people value book recommendations. For an MPP level, these are the three books I gravitate to. First two, pretty popular but the third one gets overlooked. Good examples, tilts on intuition more than math, and yes code in STATA and R.
Yes, Sunday prep for Monday class.
I enjoy coding, presenting, and talking about research.
For those who love to write or edit. Help me enjoy it a little more. Tell me what you like about it. 🙏
In this interview with Isaiah Andrews, they talk about "Metrics Clinics" in their PhD Program. In which students present their papers and their metrics issue and the profs try to help out or provide comments on it. Seems super useful? Do other programs..

Hi Everyone!
Last year, I shared this document that was a primer on "How to find data", I'm making some updates for the next version, so if you have any suggestions or things I should add, let me know.
As the semester starts, your students may be thinking about projects and how to find data for their particular topic. I've written a "Where to find Data Primer" for beginners. It's a bit biased towards health, but could be useful for most students. Find it

I think I’m sharing this to make the point that understanding the words Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, Systemic Racism, and such are a journey. As I was reading a diversity statement for someone, I read mine from 5 years ago. Damn, it was bad, it is bad.
When trying to understand patterns over time of my data, I usually run a reg of the outcome on year FE (and sometimes I add more sauce, sometimes I don't).
Right after, I plot the year FE. I've saved the following command under text replacement (can be done on mac or Windows)..
