Am a huge Janet Currie fan
But except for great advice on applying for grants, all of this is much much harder for people w/o preexisting networks and resources.

@CirilBoschRosa @steffenhuck @JoLohse @EcScienceAssoc Nice! And misunderstanding is not limited to experiments. The NYFed's measure of inflation expectations is biased because many respondents don’t understand how to report their inflationary beliefs as a percent chance https://t.co/Qg2n9iYqgn

Yes.

All academia is bad, but Economics is particularly bad. Worst academic discipline in the US in terms of the share of Economics PhDs who are first-gen college students!

Surely this affects what we study and how we study it.

Had great fun doing this podcast with TWS. I tell 3 stories of serendipitous research discoveries.

Successful replication of 'Lost in the Mall' study (Loftus & Pickrell, 1995). With n = 123, the proportion of participants who reported false memories for fabricated events was even higher than in the original study: 35% vs. 25%
