I recall reading Mokyr's papers for the first time during my Master's program in Economic History. I was immediately captivated. By the way, three years in a row with the economics "Nobel" going to economic historians, what a run! #EconSky #AcademicSky #PrizeinEconomicSciences #NobelPrize

Something similar happened to me today in my class in Madrid. Most of my undergrad business students were familiar with Charlie Kirk; I hadn´t heard of him before. What happened is terrible, and we took the opportunity to reflect on how bad political violence is nowadays. #TeachEcon #EconSky

This happened to me recently. I couldn't get my visa appointment on time for a conference. Traveling to the US isn't easy without a Global North passport. Particularly in this political climate Conference organizers need to remember this, or risk reinforcing academia’s elitism. #EconSky #EconConf
