So happy that this came out. Another great experience working with The Policy Lab, Kevin H Wilson, @davidmglick, David Yokum and Nat Rabb and the whole team at RIDOH

i teach a class for public policy students about how to code and do data analysis. every semester, i get questions from students about how to get jobs, but i came from engineering rather than policy/analysis, so my path isnt really applicable to them. any advice for them?

This paper has now appeared in PNASNews. Indeed, we're on the cover! Thank you as always to my colleagues at The Policy Lab, Rhode Island Department of Health and obviously co-authors Nat Rabb, Jake Bowers, @davidmglick, and David Yokum! x.com/khayeswilson/s…

Question for #EconTwitter: our team just replicated one of our previous results as part of a larger effort. What venue is likely to accept, say, a short letter saying “We replicated XYZ. Data and code available at ABC?”

Has anyone who runs a class where students read and present papers had those students also write and publish "referee reports" on those papers? Curious if (a) this is a good methodology for teaching and (b) what sort of critiques fresh eyes devise

Reading about the student loan forgiveness debate I'm struck people's radically different assumptions and objective functions Has anyone made a tool exploring these assumptions and objectives? Eg a shiny app? I feel like this would help clarify issues more than a single analysis

Opening up a new data set and I feel like NormConf 🚿 should add a "scary [data] stories" session where people gather around a camp fire and talk about the most shocking failures caused by unclean data "Then someone slipped a Canadian post code into the ZIP code data 😱"

The death of Stadia has me wondering: Has anyone tried to broker a deal where the arxiv (or similar) "buys" Google Scholar from Google?

Come to NormConf and hear some tips and tricks for evaluating models---ML and otherwise---you might find buried in your enterprise COBOL mainframe Come for the fixed-point arithmetic, stay for the normcore advice

More of this, please! Public review of the accuracy / suitability for research of various tools would be an enormous help!

If #EconTwitter moves and/or vanishes post-Musk, I really hope the tradition of writing 5-10 tweet threads about papers highlighting key points and diagrams continues. Would be a great feature of something like SocArXiv or NBER

It's open enrollment season and you are probably seeing lots of ads to go to healthcare.gov (or your state exchange) to buy a health insurance plan. The ads probably say things like - "Get a low cost plan" or otherwise emphasize affordability or protecting your family.

If you happen to be at APPAM today, talking about these results at 3:30 in the Cabinet Room

Have a listen on one way 911 services may be able to help low-acuity callers get the right care when they need it!

Today someone used the word “Living documentation” and I thought they had invented a clever word for “the person who, if they leave, everything will fall apart” But apparently some CTO unironically coined the term in 90s 🤷 johnfergusonsmart.com/living-documen…

Yesterday at Rohan Alexander 's Toronto Data Workshop, University of Waterloo students gave a crisp pitch for public data sharing via open data lakes vs API: youtube.com/watch?v=EvcnSD… Deeply resonated with my own gymnastics w/ unstandardized public data across states: emilyriederer.com/post/states-sc…
