Fantastic book on program evaluation: regression adjustment, matching, IV, DID, LATE, and regression discontinuity. Cerulli is a superb teacher. I’ve attended a few of his courses, like Machine Learning. If you get the chance, don’t miss his sessions at Timberlake! #DataScience

My god. It’s happening. A post-Bashar Syria.
The transition starts now. Make no mistake: it will be incredibly rocky.
But today, take a beat to hear the soft, human joy of many Syrians as they cry, embrace, learn if wrongly jailed loved ones survived & vow “now we can go home.” 🧵
