@shoonlee8 Thanks! No, I don't use Quarto for journal articles - I am still a servant to LaTeX/Overleaf. In part for the formatting reasons, but also because collaboration is easier.
Someday I hope (pray?) that Typst (typst.app) will be mature enough to replace LaTeX...

@pbaylis Great info! Relatedly, your post on Quarto says "I have resisted drafting articles using RMarkdown ... but if this new system can help me shift away from LaTeX..." Have you made the switch with Quarto? I've been using Rmd for drafts, but find formatting after acceptance tough..

A number of people have been asking*, so I figured it was about time for the 2024 edition of "how to make nice LaTeX tables with R"!

@abehrer Agreed, so cool. Very grateful to whoever is doing the important work at @WhiteHouseCEA of putting together this report - and that they are thoughtful enough to let authors know when they're cited.
Not gonna lie, I immediately sent it to my mom.

I hope I never get so cynical that seeing this isn’t exciting. Because it’s pretty awesome!

The latest from @headecon: New research has mapped the costs of protecting homes from #wildfires to show they are highest in rural parts of the western US where density is relatively low. bit.ly/3lfSbcP

Markdown lovers unite: if you haven't checked out Quarto for writing your website/slides/articles/whatever in R+Markdown, you should. It's pretty amazing!

What @DrNathanNunn said! Also, we have some incredible (and incredibly nice) recent faculty hires...
Nathan Nunn@DrNathanNunn
Thinking of doing a PhD in economics? A little under 2 weeks to apply to UBC's program. Dynamic faculty, great mentorship, fun research environment, amazingly diverse group of students, great city. What's not to like?

Quick thread on a paper we had out last week on wildfire smoke in @NatureHumBehav. Take-home is that current policy approaches to protecting folks from wildfire smoke exposure are pretty inadequate. Paper here nature.com/articles/s4156… (1/n)

Thanks @rach_garr! Officially takes effect July 1 but Davis has decided they want to keep me around for the foreseeable future.

Come work with us! @pbaylis and I are hiring someone interested in any combination of devo/enviro/behavioural, and others are hiring too [1/2]

@ajhollingsworth So do I! But it's hard, because I have to two-factor authenticate each time. So I do it less. Which is a win I think?

#HiddenCurriculum is back for another season! And, to keep the bar low (I assume), I'm the first guest.
Super fun conversation with Alex and Sebastian about developing work habits that allow you to be productive AND enjoy your life.
