Summer is here, which means it's officially "stare at all my research projects and wonder what I'm doing with my life" season. 😅

How do you all get unstuck? Any advice from those who've survived this phase?

@Prof_Nishith_P @NUEcon @Northeastern @NU_PolicySchool @ResearchAtNU Congrats, Professor! Looking forward to visiting you in the new building

Congrats to @EmilioLegLon on his new publication! 🎉 Using land restitution rulings and high-resolution satellite data, the paper shows that conflict-induced displacement in Colombia increased deforestation by about 50%, especially following paramilitary-driven displacement.

@BenedictXuEcon Thank you very much, could you point out the mistakes on my DM, I am not a chinese native speaker and used AI so any help with this is highly appreciate it.

[Sebastián Ramírez @SebastianRamRa1]

In one of my classes we had to design a social media project using AI.

Most examples were like content automation, explainers, that kind of thing.

I wanted to try something a bit more useful.

So I started building this:

Did you know that @Arnold_Ventures has a standing RFP for causal research proposals related to crime and the criminal justice system? Send us your ideas! We aim to get you an answer fast (within 3 months).

All we need from you is a 3-page LOI that describes the intervention you're testing and the research design you're using.

I’m updating it over time with educational content.

If you’re curious / have thoughts:

would really appreciate feedback

Structured slowly:

– definitions
– red flags
– structural patterns
– support

The goal is not to tell people what to do.

Just to make things easier to name, without pressure.

[Sebastián Ramírez @SebastianRamRa1]

Working on an idea for ~1 year and finally have results + methods in place. What’s the best way to circulate a working paper and get feedback (besides conferences)? Posting on a personal website? Direct emails to researchers? Curious what is the best in practice. #EconTwitter

@RatraVastav Congratulations on the presentation! Hope to see you around while you’re in Boston.

Research ideas, career questions, and life conversations — the informal moments are often the most meaningful. Great time with our PhD students @NU_PolicySchool.
