Remember—When the interviewers ask “Do you have any questions for us?” that’s the time to pull out their old job market papers and go on the offensive.

@AssumeNormality That’s an excellent choice

@tysondavidnc Those words mean a lot. Thank you

My book came out one year ago. It was the most fun I’ve had writing professionally. Thank you so much to everyone who has read it or used it. Knowing that people are enjoying it makes me so incredibly happy. Dad jokes are a pedagogical tool. amazon.com/Economics-Heal…

@gero5 DM me if you have any questions or need any additional support - happy to help!

@FriedsonAndrew Updated our public health economics class that I’m TA’ing this spring to this book. Course materials were really helpful in prepping as well.

@FriedsonAndrew I need to pick your brain sometime. I've had an itch to write an updated undergraduate labor economics book or a defense economics book.

@benconomics @q_econ Complementary skills

@q_econ @FriedsonAndrew In both mario kart, smash, and especially in economics.

Coming out of retirement to say that Kyu is a special talent.

Kyu Matsuzawa (@q_econ), is on the job market this year. I've had the pleasure of working with Kyu as his dissertation advisor for the last couple of years. His JMP studies the effects of a departmental ban on pretextual stops in Los Angeles. qmatsuzawa.com/wp/jmp/

The Economics Department at CU Denver is hiring this year! We are looking for an assistant professor in applied microeconomics. We're a friendly and supportive group and did I mention the views? Please post widely & feel free to reach out with Qs econjobmarket.org/positions/11068

@ChloeNEast I have heard that only the COOLEST economists work there. Is this true???

A few key findings 1) Hypertension is a huge contributor to several top causes of death and is growing steadily 2) Obesity is the fastest-growing contributing factor. this is true across almost all demographics and CODs 3) There are large disparities based on demographics 3/3

This allows us to follow what diseases are becoming more dangerous, but that are not necessarily the primary cause of death. We focus on diseases related to the metabolic system. We also break things down by sex, race, ethnicity, and primary COD 2/3

🚨🚨🚨 New report out today with @KatherineSacks3 Read it here: milkeninstitute.org/content-hub/re… Most mortality reporting follows primary cause of death (COD), we instead track growth in contributing factors (the second, third, etc. COD on a death certificate) 1/3

Obviously, these capacity measures are an imperfect snapshot of a multi-factoral detection and care process. BUT, this report demonstrates that there are lanes for improvement that likely run through improving access to existing technology 5/5

The same simulation implies that we could be catching 12.6% of cases earlier with better detection. If we assume that all cases are eventually caught, this could save over $175 million in treatment costs alone (to say nothing of improved patient well-being). 4/5

🚨🚨🚨 New report out today with @KatherineSacks3 and @buya531 on mammogram capacity and breast cancer detection. milkeninstitute.org/content-hub/re… 1/5
