@KateRyanReiling @gabelade @WestSarahE Something subtle and Viking appropriate. Yes.

@marcfbellemare Maybe they thought being folksy would tip the scales in their favor. Did they start the email with "Hey Dude"!? Lord, I hope so.

@tweetanhtl Yikes! I hope you are ok.

Somebody tried to break into my house tonight (and my building is right behind the university security department). Had to call the police for the first time in my life 😨

@eeshani_kandpal @Macalester Thanks to @eeshani_kandpal for a fabulous presentation @Macalester Economics research seminar today! The presentation was a perfect balance of rigorous and interesting as well as accessible to the wide audience! Great job Eeshani!

Gov. Tim Walz really has a mean ppt game. He gets on TV and basically does a Zoom ppt presentation to tell us we are going to lock down. For some reason I find it hilarious and adorable.

This is very interesting.

@WestSarahE Impressive that the commenter can publish 2 quality papers a year, provide an excellent education to their students, provide service to their institution, and take care of their home obligations! Good for them!

@ainesmccarthy Can I underline @marcfbellemare’s invitation to come to MN? We can take turns holding the baby and running regressions.

Yeah, so nice to get into the swing of things on week 2 of classes with high winds, downed power lines, pandemic, teaching online, power out, dorm quarantines, shouting baby, bad internet, nearby fires, evacuation plans and poor air quality. Really in the zone for great lectures.

I am seriously worried about the implications of online school and pandemic-kid lifestyle on overweight and obesity in kiddos. We just had a socially distanced school supplies pick up and it was apparent in a population where this is normally not a serious issue.

A paper we worked on for 2+ years... Persistence does pay off sometimes😊"The practice of Payments for #EcosystemService (PES) in the Tropical Andes: Evidence from program administrators"🙏@LauraZanotti5 @bgramig & coauthors @PurdueC4E @naturabolivia authors.elsevier.com/a/1bgLW7szSJ0Q…

@ainesmccarthy @Jess_Hoel @SethGitter @epkresch @mmalloush What angle of aid are you looking for?

Hi awesome dev economist peeps. Here's my annual syllabus twitter brainstorm. Anyone have anything newer/more exciting than Moyo/Easterly/Sachs articles on the foregin aid topic (200 level dev, pre micre & metrix)? @Jess_Hoel @amydamon_econ @SethGitter @epkresch @mmalloush

Wow. There must be a lesson in here somewhere....
