Remarkable video to watch. Assignment started and completed in under three and a half minutes. Thinking of how to safeguard against this, or at least throw up some serious hurdles.

American Airlines is gaslighting me. In June, my PHL to BTV flight was canceled. The plane failed its final checks, staff advised us to find our own hotels, keep receipts, etc. I watched maintenance crews working on the plane. Now AA insists it was “weather.” Has anyone else dealt with this?

More good climate news…

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

#Econsky help us to get the word out about this opportunity. We’re hoping to make economics more accessible and principles of micro content more relevant.

If you're a US historian who'd like to do this but are unfamiliar with the process, hit me up & I'll help you identify your target publication, write your pitch, & get your piece into that sweet, sweet 600-750 word range. (Pro bono in case that wasn't clear). It's my literal job & I'd love to help.

Anyone have a suggestion for an article that undergrads could understand that explains why positive climate solutions news promotes action while negative news about climate impacts can prompt inaction?

Our Uncommon Econ modules include videos and curriculum materials that: highlight applied economics research focused on real-world issues, connect cutting-edge scholarly work directly to principles-level concepts, and amplify the voices of diverse economists. www.uncommonecon.com

Looking for faculty who teach principles of micro to work with us on the impact of our video modules. If you teach micro principles consider joining us!

We are currently accepting applications to our Faculty Evaluation Community! Faculty help us test the impact of our videos on student perceptions, identity, and persistence in economics, and are compensated at the end of each semester. Visit our website to learn more: www.uncommonecon.com

Great tip

"If you're a transactional sort of person who thinks that if I win, you lose, you might think of that [tariffs] as giving you bargaining power. But I think that's the wrong frame for thinking about economics. Economics is about relationships. What can we do better together than we could apart..."

Well done! Thank you.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

It was a great feeling to receive @asheassa.bsky.social Service Award. Favors in academia should be inter generational. We all received help to get where we are. When you are able it is time to reach back and help pull someone else over the hurdle. #ASSA2025

Oh how I love the NE Ohio Regional Sewer District!

Art through and through. Absolutely beautiful

Your best post yet. I can’t stop smiling.

Thanks again for this recommendation… a few months later and I’ve read the entire trilogy. Loved, loved the series! Please keep your recommendations coming.

Be a mentor or a scholar. It's a great program, plus you get a coveted, status-bestowing, green, name-tag lanyard. Info session 12/14 at 3pm EST.

It’s a thing. They are used to programs identifying them (i.e Canvas or your university’s version)

Hi Leah. I’ve been following your perspective from my Twitter days. I’m an environmental economist interested in slowing deforestation in the Amazon and have been impressed with the strength of their democracy post Bolsonaro. We could all learn a lot from their model.
