A huge thanks to Angela Evans, Fayette Co. Prosecuting Attorney for guest speaking in my Law and Econ class at Gatton College of B&E! Angela provided my students with real-world insights to the inner workings of the state of Kentucky’s criminal justice system.

Hey #Econtwitter I'm looking for some health related policies that have been implemented in the US that my Health Economics class can present a policy brief on. Bonus points if you have a paper on said policy that I can use as reference for their readings!

Thank you to the heroes of the Secret Service who threw themselves into what appeared to be a hail of bullets. Find whoever did this and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. None of this is OK. Praying for everyone there in Butler PA.
