@dane_brink @umichECON @ChicagoFed Thanks bestie

@EmmaJLaG @umichECON @ChicagoFed That is amazing! Congrats!

Hello #EconTwitter ! I’d like to officially share that I’ll be joining @umichECON for my PhD in the fall. I’m so excited to join such a wonderful program (and to get to spend a few more years in the @ChicagoFed 7th district 🙂). Looking forward to this new stage in my career!

This was such a great event!! Big shoutout to @drjaninewilson for organizing and to my breakout room of @EmmaJLaG, @chhmichelle, & @SalpyKanimian for giving great grad school advice to students!

@SalpyKanimian @riacton @drjaninewilson @chhmichelle So lovely to talk to you all!!

@riacton @drjaninewilson @EmmaJLaG @chhmichelle It was wonderful meeting y’all! Will definitely keep in touch.

Tomorrow night! 👇

Thanks @jryoung for the great coverage of my new working paper with @KalenaCortes, @Lois_Miller, @CamilaNtMorales!

It’s bizarre to me that so many instructors have given up trying to ban ChatGPT and instead assign hard AI-proof take-home exams. Why not just have… in person exams like we always have? Why is this suddenly not an option

Working through a PhD macro problem set:

upperclassmen: hey, how’s first year going? me:

@riacton @JohnConz Sounds like a selection issue tbh

@EmmaJLaG @JohnConz Sorry to tell you, Emma, but I think not keeping up with the trends might just be a side effect of getting an econ PhD 🙃

millennial on mean girls day 🤝 econ prof with an exam to give

@riacton @JohnConz I’m technically gen Z and can confirm we had okay boomer! On the other hand, I’m liable to not understand the references of anyone more than 2ish years younger than me even though we’re in the same generation. Memes change too fast

@JohnConz Wasn’t “okay boomer” a whole meme not that long ago?? Was that just among us millenials?? Yeesh

@jacobherbstman Obviously they’re just doing it to spite you. The Metra Electric would never disappoint me.

Everyone told me the metra was so perfect and reliable. How come the second I start using it it’s delayed 45 mins and on the wrong set of tracks? Why do I have such bad luck with public transit 😭

first year cores be like

@dane_brink Truly the best of us

@EmmaJLaG You caught me 👀

Grad students in their natural habitat (the leftovers table in the dark)

@jacobherbstman This text I got yesterday suddenly becoming even more relevant

I’ve been in Europe one week and their gdp per capita being half of the US immediately makes sense

@riacton Omg Riley!! Congratulations!!! 💕

As they say, some ~personal news~ (upgraded to a new tax filing status this weekend!)
