Tweet of the day.

I denounce this xenophobic, self-destructive plan. Chinese students are integral to American science. The opportunity to work with students from China remains one of the joys and most important dimensions of my research. The act of a deteriorating nation.

My grandfather survived Auschwitz, worked his ass off to get a PhD in physics despite 5 years of slave labor w no schooling, and came to the US to build the camera for the Apollo missions. But I guess you don't want ppl like that in our country anymore you ungrateful jackass

Completely nonsensical politicization of scientistics identifying and correcting problems in science. - Gino's research was not "promoting progressive ideas" - The problems were not found by "bloggers," but by leading researchers/faculty in the same scientific discipline.

Oh, I see, we are quoting Hayek now

Hayek isn't arguing that economics isn't a science, though. Just that the methods of economics have to look different than the "natural" sciences. Oren would know this if he... read. But I guess he's just interested in trying to find anything he can to bolster his position?

Very, very pleased to share these conversations with Salvador Navarro (Salvador Navarro) and Stephen Trejo on educational disparities. Overcoming barriers to educational achievement is integral to creating a "meritocracy worth the name."

Important paper on the ways that changes in the distribution of resources across different types of colleges has affected wage inequality.

Slow to repost this wonderful conversation Ariel Kalil and I had with Rachel Kranton on identity and social science.

Embarrassingly slow to repost this pair of great conversations with Salvador Navarro and Stephen Trejo on education and inequality.
