    After 2 months on my “to read” folder, made it to a fascinating paper by , and others: Authors measure 21 behavioral traits, run PCA and find behavior can be largely explained using only 6 components.

    Brilliant thread. Great to see these data

    In a world where the boundaries between traditional academic disciplines are eroding, where there's enough room for very distinct subfields of both "biochemistry" and "chemical biology," economics is the wallflower at the cocktail party.

    Great thread

    It might interest you to know that the time it takes to learn how to be an effective farmworker is about 3 years. How do we know? Because it was built into slave plantations' financial records. That's how we bloody well know.

    Been waiting on this paper to come out👇🏾 ... school choice involves schools choosing students as well 🙃

    New RCT w/ Isaac McFarlin Jr shows schools of choice--trad'l public & charter--less responsive to application inquiries from students w/ behavior problems, low grades or a particular special need. Lower response to sp. need is driven by charters. Results hold for range of schools

    I wanted the best way to tell my neighbor that he tried it with his late night party. So I wrote him a letter and baked him a cake.

    Good for Denmark though: too often EU goes easy on this sort of malfeseance because of interference from the home government of the company.

    Fascinating 2-person EEG study: infants direct their own visual attention more during solo play with toys, less when playing with parents; but when they share attention, babies have longer sustained attention linked w/parents' increased responsiveness.

    Excited to see more amazing work by and published in using dual-EEG recordings to study infant social attention in naturalistic contexts!

    Great new paper expanding on our work with . We found that political extremists are more overconfident (). They add that they also have metacognitive insensitivity.

    This now out! found radicals are overconfident in their errors on a simple perceptual task, resulting in metacognitive insensitivity; replicates across two independent datasets with Ray Dolan

    Fantastic tale Irgit: My biggest challenge right now is the copiers around the world. People say I should be flattered but I despise all of them Earlier Irgit: I need to figure out how to copy it and of course: You can’t really tell them [Victoria’s Secret] I copied.

    After 5 months of work and a reporting trip to Brazil, I'm proud to share this story. It may be the most intense, suspenseful, OMG-inducing article you will ever read about a bikini.

    I'm sure it's partly about mimicking Trump's boasts - "We're building wall!", "We've been building wall!" But it also just reflects that their ask has changed: They are no longer requesting Congress approve building a border wall- just sections of wall in various spots.

    Caltech postdoc studies imitation and emulation (in humans)—two distinct processes that often result in the same behavior but recruit different parts of the brain.

    I advise every applicant to look for these statistics. Completion rate and time are hard to find. SS program is max 5yrs, *all* graduate placements are on website

    Where, in browsing the webpages of doctoral programs in economics, do we see statistics on attrition rates? Time to degree? Percent of entrants who land tenure-track jobs? Are these not the things we'd advise our undergraduates, or our children, to think about?

    Gorgeous! The very definition of cozy

    This is my cousin’s new little neighborhood library in Coeur d’Alene. She had to remove a 100-year-old tree and made good use of the stump. Isn’t it cool?

    Scale of this is mind-boggling: “Between 2007 and 2015, much of about $230 billion that gushed through a tiny Estonian branch was probably suspicious in origin”

    Although the blues and boogie-woogie Black musicians from Mississippi & Louisiana who made it up the river to Chicago found a wealthy white audience, Black musicians who remained in Southern states didn't have that - & thus remain underappreciated or unknown.
