Thanks to everyone who came to the Bozeman Applied Micro Summer Conference this week!

What is your favorite paper with an "as-good-as-random" design?

trying to be creative in difficult times, submit here if a postdoc is a better fit, too- this may be a hard time to start soft-money tenure track...

I just had the most wonderful days visiting Montana State - a top applied micro group and wow, such a beautiful place on earth! Thank you @carlyurban.bsky.social and everyone there! Also happily reunited with my WEAI mentor Mark Anderson 🤠
