In high school, I'd collect articles on the Fed to use as sources in case I receive questions about the economy when competing in Speech & Debate tournaments. Now, as a rising college junior, I just spent a Saturday afternoon hearing from THE Janet Yellen. Thank you @AEASPmsu

@AEASPmsu mini reunion at Cere’s last night! 2 years later @ayoFRMohio is now at analyst at Cleveland Fed, @ramz3e (2nd yr. RA) and I (1st yr. RA) are at Chicago Fed. @DrCMoser @ToniDM @drlisadcook, this is for y’all!! As Ayo puts it, #AEASP2020 is the summer that keeps on giving

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

@DrCMoser supervised my 1st econ research project through AEASP. To have her in attendance at today’s defense for a thesis/project made possible by @cesicruz and the guidance of @willafriedman, is a full circle moment. So lucky to call this amazing crew of women my mentors!

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

A 64-49 finals win for @GamecockWBB against @UConnWBB, a win that 11 out of the 36 #EconMadness brackets predicted! Welcome to the stage…@mikekofoed, our 2022 #EconMadness Women’s Tournament Challenge champion!!! 🎉🎉🎉🏀🏀💪💪

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

Podium finish at 🥈for @James_Tierney and at 🥉for @skaplan92🍾🍾🍾 (@everyone else in #EconMadness, we gotta get our corners back next year 😤💯)

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

@KathrynBollman @imbernomics #EconMadness Second half update!!

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

Don’t ask why @KathrynBollman and I didn’t make the top four cut even though we talk cash money all year round about March Madness. @jmwooldridge didn’t even make it to the screenshot 😌🤣

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

Less than 30 minutes before Women’s #FinalFour tip off. Here are the Top 4 contenders in the #EconMadness Women’s Bracket Challenge! @James_Tierney @skaplan92 @SarahHBana 🎉💪👏🏀

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

@cesicruz @MitchNarito Kare-Kare didn’t make the cut?! It’s like the best of all worlds…tasty cuts and we add vegetables to it (for “presentation” as the Titas would say) 🤣😋

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

What’s the BEST economics book that you’ve read?

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

#EconMadness watch party crew in downtown Houston. It’s Horacio, Angelo, and Yabo’s 2nd year of PhD and it’s also @UHCougarMBK 2nd straight #EliteEight appearance. Coincidence? I think not!

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

12-point win against the 1-seed Zona AND we led the ENTIRE game!!! Y’all may now call @UHCougarMBK the #EliteCoogs. Mood provided by @KathrynBollman

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

Checking in at the official watch party for @UHCougarMBK Sweet Sixteen run, minutes away from tip-off. My #EconMadness peeps who had Gonzaga winning, how are we feeling rn?! #GoCoogs

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

Finally got to see one of my favorite people again! @EckroteMarissa and I brought some of those #EconMadness first round picks to the Vegas sports books. Spread or Moneyline?

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

It's not too late to join the women's pool! Women's brackets don't lock until tomorrow, just search #EconMadness on ESPN Fantasy join.

[Katie M Bollman @KathrynBollman]

The men’s tourney is underway and our 63 #EconMadness contenders are locked in!

Bets are on for the Zags to to take it all this year: 43% of brackets picked them to be the champs, but 18 schools got at least one vote!

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

@jmwooldridge @katlynhettinger @KathrynBollman Wow, looks like someone's getting a head start on the March Madness trash talk 🥴

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

@KathrynBollman @EckroteMarissa @anne_m_burton @naraepark_econ @katlynhettinger @drlisadcook @nayantara_ @cesicruz @willafriedman @EconChrisClarke @DrCMoser @khernandezl10 @MackenzieAlsto4 @laurenlbauer The time has come for EconTwitter Bracket Tourney Year 2, March Madness is here 🤩

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

@katlynhettinger @KathrynBollman @jmwooldridge Talk that big talk, @katlynhettinger!!!! Numbers don't lie.

[Bea Rivera @RiveraBeatriz31]

March Madness is near! Here are the results from the 2021 tournament. Year 2 will be the best year yet! We're planning for awards, shout-outs, Twitter trash talk, and the opportunity to receive a championship shirt from @jmwooldridge if your bracket wins + bragging rights!

[Katie M Bollman @KathrynBollman]

Friends! Future friends! #EconTwitter near and far!

March is approaching and March Madness with it! Knock @jmwooldridge off of the podium this year and win the EconMadness bracket of champions.
