@AnthropicAI, based on your codesignal exam for the Econ/Labor tract in your Fellows program, I don’t think you know what an economist does.

Your 90-min coding challenge was harder & more CS-oriented than the 7-day async challenge for Sr. Data Scientist roles @ @Emerson_News

@gonka_ai @haider1 Using AI to reply to a post about AI is *so* 2025

If and when @KamalaHarris wins the election, can we appoint @Tim_Walz as “Head Coach” as well as VP?

Is that a title we can give?

Proud to have been born in MN’s 1st district. #Kamala2024 #WalzForVP2024 #Teachers

@PhDVoice @PostdocVoice Absolutely not. It should absolutely be a requirement that you try, but it should also ABSOLUTELY be a requirement that faculty HELP you to do so. Not force you, not break your soul over it, but HELP MENTOR you.

@EvaLefkowitz @AcademicChatter With a warm, dignified, professional, kind reply to the following email: *<insert the body of the email here>*”, written in the style of Ernest Hemingway with the appropriate lexicon for a professional academic in his 30’s in 2023, indicating I don’t talk to bots.

@_AlvinChristian Mid-rank econ PhD but at a top-20 school.
About $27.5k, but then the school takes fees out of that.

Used to be at IU where the stipend was about $16k as of 2017 (with no summer support at all).

[Alvin Christian @_AlvinChristian]

For students recently admitted to econ phd programs: can you comment/dm what stipend your program offered? Asking for union reasons.

I’ve made the critical mistake of liking too many twitter accounts that focus on #PhD and #gradschool survival, problems, et cetera, such that my recommended feed is now predominately stress.

@GradSkoolStrugs But hey, at least they can afford it!

@KhoaVuUmn I found a third option…

[Ian Helfrich @ThisIsIanH]

@PkgBook @design4writers For a book cover?
A green version of #1 with a contrasting color for the elements of the edge set.

#2 is okay but too reminiscent of several existing titles.

#3 is very off-putting and gives “academic textbook from the early 2000’s”
