How does funding uncertainty affect science? Every Oct, we get headlines bemoaning the impact of the federal budgeting process on science. Does it matter that grant $$ takes a bit longer to get out the door, or is it just a nuisance we can deal with?

The pipeline that drives discovery - new knowledge and treatments for diseases that affect us all - is collapsing in the United States. New NIH funding opportunities are down 91% this fiscal year.

My colleagues at HBS and I are looking for predoctoral researchers, starting Summer 2026! The ideal candidate recognizes that the traditional RA role in econ research is obsolete with coding agents, yet loves econ so much that they want to learn how to do it with new tools. 1/2

I’m looking for examples of AI-based workflows for econ/social science research. Two particular qs (not related to each other) 1) examples of test-driven development for an AI writing code? 2) examples of AI writing and testing a data build which is long and expensive to run?

@PradyuPrasad Yeah I'm not much help to you here, but I've always thought there must be a ton of great natural experiments to be looked at with singapore data!

I'm honored and excited to join the faculty of America's oldest research university, Johns Hopkins. I'll start this summer as a full professor, one of the founding faculty at the brand-new School of Government and Policy. We're building something unique & historic.

I am offering mentorship for PhD students in economic history again this year. My PhD benefitted from having a fantastic supervisor, whom I can never repay. He said, "pass it on". I'm not an established academic, but I know what being a PhD candidate is like. 1/2

Interesting bit of politics of science funding...NASA administrator James Webb telling LBJ they can give out Purdue funding in "installments" to maintain leverage over Indiana congressman
