Are any of my papers on your syllabus? Undergrad, PhD, econ history, or (preparing myself for crickets) a non-econ history class are all great. DMs are open and huge thanks in advance

(I guess @barbarabiasi.com is a month ahead of me on tenure packet paperwork)

Another crash and injury on Spruce St. This one taking out a streetlight, an Indego bike corral, and sending another person to the hospital.

Our city cannot prevent all reckless driving, but our city can provide for the safety of our most vulnerable. It’s time for concrete protection.

A woman from Philly posted a video of a driver intentionally hitting her in the South Street bike lane: www.reddit.com/r/phillycycl...

The South Street bridge area needs safer bike infrastructure and this driver needs to be charged.

Another crash & serious injury on Spruce St in Center City.

There’s still no protection for people biking & walking, and reckless driving is as prevalent as ever. It’s beyond time for concrete protection. #concretenow

Ben Jann’s #coefplot has made its way into countless figures in applied economics papers. It’s a staple in many Stata workflows—but the corresponding paper has fewer than 400 citations.

Tools like #coefplot and #reghdfe have quietly powered a huge share of empirical research. Citing them helps give credit where it’s due.

What are some other packages or tools you think are widely used but might be undercited?

Four years ago today, Denis & Tim & Mike & Stefan & Janneken went on a bike ride, the first WNR. A lot's changed but WNR is still mainly about the same thing: going for a bike ride with friends. And trying to stay dry! We meant to go to Parks on Tap that night, ended up at Love City bc of T-storms
