@HistDem @ewrigleyfield @evanrobertsnz Check out this Slack message to Rob S. I was thinking more meeting space, and not as much tables for writing, but we can investigate.

@saralovesyou Pratt is 16-18 kids per room. I think "usual" can be as high as 30. School by school decision?

@aaronsojourner I'm very sorry for your loss. What an amazing life - thank you for sharing her story. Your description of afternoons of sweets and cards games with grandmothers was so heartwarming -- may those memories (and many others) bring you comfort.

@dcvanriper @evanrobertsnz Without @dcvanriper's alert, I may have first seen this on a zoom call! I checked it out and it has serious dish drying potential, which is not always the case with novelty tea towel. That plan has been vetoed by owner.

@josedpacas @familyunequal @ipums Good catch Jose!

[Cathy Fitch @CathyFitch]

@familyunequal @ipums I will send you an email. Trying to recreate this and not seeing the same thing. We don't promise weekend user support but my kid's cartoons aren't holding my attention.

@MinneapolisFed recruiting social scientists (not just economists) for #InclusiveGrowth visiting scholars program. Just a couple miles upstream from @ipums HQ! See thread from incoming director @AbigailWozniak

[Abigail Wozniak @AbigailWozniak]

Very excited about this announcement! As part of my new gig, I will help select our next cohort of OIGI #InclusiveGrowth scholars. \Thread with dets and thoughts...

Are you a census data enthusiast wondering what is differential privacy and what will it mean for my research? If so, we've got answers for you. (Note: If you are a census data enthusiast and not wondering, you probably should be.)

[@Steven Ruggles @HistDem]

Our new working paper argues that newly-adopted Census Bureau privacy policies are inconsistent with census law and precedent. We conclude that the new rules will severely damage data infrastructure indispensable for basic research and policy analysis.
