@zapfinanceug Good afternoon.

Good afternoon

@watotochurch Great song. What's the title

“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:37-39 NIV How beautiful is the love of God! May you rejoice in this truth today.

@qataharraymond Hello Raymond. My name is Edson. My field is Biostatistics, with training in Longitudinal data analysis.

I’m looking for a thinking partner; preferably a master’s in economics with great longitudinal study skills to embark on a writing project. They must have political economy analysis skills already. Please reach out if you’re the person. Ps: It’s paid 🙏🏽

@ElonMuskOde Yes

@burugakk @stanbicug @emukuny @Mosesosamai Honestly, at the earliest time possible I am divorcing you @stanbicug. It's like knowing your partner is cheating and you hang in there

@MwebesaEdson @stanbicug @emukuny @Mosesosamai Admin @stanbicug is dead silent 🤣

My banker @stanbicug did you hear or know that the Bank of Uganda’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) reduced the Central Bank Rate (CBR) by 25 basis points to 9.75% due to an improved inflation outlook? @emukuny @Mosesosamai

Have a nice read. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@RichardHanania Cheeeeee

Strong evidence showing that getting a PhD is extremely bad for your mental health. A new paper uses Swedish medical records and matches them to the full population of PhD students for which the authors could get gender and birth year data from 2006 to 2017. After some exclusion criteria, they end up with a sample size of 20,085 individuals. The paper compares PhD students to those who have masters degrees and don't start a PhD program. Before starting a PhD program, people who stop at a masters and those who go on to seek a PhD have similar rates of psychiatric medication use and hospitalization. A few years into a PhD program, however, 40% more individuals are on psychiatric medications, before the number falls off as people leave or finish their studies. You see the same pattern with psychiatric hospitalizations. PhD students are up to 150-175% more likely to be hospitalized after starting a program! These are incredible numbers, too massive to be the result of chance or a flaw in the methodology. This is comparing the same people over time. If you're considering a PhD program, and the terrible job prospects and waste of time aren't enough, here's yet another reason to stay away.
