I had a great time speaking with the @BigBrainsUC Podcast about my work in economics, the importance of #DataScience in making decisions, and some of our ongoing projects at @center4risc!

Having trouble making a different decision? Prof. @StevenDLevitt says don't overthink it—and just flip a coin. The @UChicago scholar talks about his innovative research, the success of the @Freakonomics book and #podcast, and his unique spin on #economics. ms.spr.ly/60199x6c5

We’re hoping to test/pilot models of #datascience ed to see what works, and a coalition is building resources to empower teachers to do it @dsforeveryone. Teachers in stats, science, and more have been teaching the building blocks for some time. I bet we can go even further (3/3)

If we do things right, there is room for both Calculus and Data Science. Students I teach at @UChicago become expert in calculus, but are totally unprepared in data science. Students need a diversity of math to be prepared for college (or any career today) @DSI_UChicago (2/3)

Thanks for an awesome conversation to @itsafronomics and @alieward on @Ologies podcast. Some ideas: fire your money manager, don't ask economists about #stonks, and we need to rethink the way we teach our kids. Also @itsafronomics would welcome tips on how to improve my Twitter.

A pleasure to interview Freakonomics author & former boss @StevenDLevitt about his new @center4risc, whether individuals can do lasting good, and why he thinks people need to change their lives more. anyamarchenko.substack.com/p/8-doing-good… #philanthropy #newsletter #freakonomics

If 90% of all the world's data was created in the past two years, then why aren't we teaching data literacy in schools? Take a look at this video narrated by @StevenDLevitt about why America's math curriculum needs to change...and what it can look like. freak.ws/3incYnT
