I spend too much money on books. And too much time writing them. 🇦🇺.

[Rohan Alexander @RohanAlexander]

My book about introductory data science was published today. It is available online - https://t.co/IBn1ylpSnV - and you can buy a print copy: https://t.co/RqbbB6HgN5. I would appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improvements.

All welcome at the conference in 10 days in Toronto. And also if you think “hey I’ve got thoughts on AI and quant social science” and may like to contribute please email me.

I'll be at a workshop organized by @RohanAlexander next week on how AI will change quantitative social science. This is my short paper, and this is the key argument. https://t.co/4HtKTJoW1J

@rmkubinec My dream of a physics nobel remains!

[Rohan Alexander @RohanAlexander]

I know nothing about physics, but it was interesting how similar the methodological concerns were to those we have in social science: https://t.co/HiQ8ccwt2R

Fresca absolutely the best in Toronto on a quality/price basis.

[Richie Assaly @rdassaly]

It's time for Toronto to stop chasing the hype of New York-style pizza, and to embrace our own homegrown classics.

An ode to Fresca Pizza & Pasta, still the best slice in city.

@JosiahParry I think that one may be the wrong way around - when I look at the content I've mostly written an R package.

Nick Cox wrote a review of my book, and it turns out I say "a lot" a lot. So fixing that is today's task.

[Rohan Alexander @RohanAlexander]

@Cghlewis It could have been (a lot!) worse. A partial list of phrases that I noticed and removed during the re-writing process attached. There were *so* many "Importantly"s.

@SHamiltonian How can we include this in our macro modelling of the returns of immigration?

[Rohan Alexander @RohanAlexander]

Super great to see @EconZach present "Multigenerational Mobility in American History" today.
