Wouldn’t it be nice if econ talks were chill like social work, where all are called “Dr”, young defer to old, and none interrupt except in assent? Not for me. My most significant seminar experiences were challenging, uncomfortable, and unforgettable.https://twitter.com/profnoto/status/961385222704128000 …

This made me smile--
Burt Weisbrod: "I'm sorry, I didn't meant to interrupt you mid-sentence"
@saskatchewin: "Wow, this is such a polite department"
It's true! We sometimes ask tough questions, but we aren't rude
