I am increasingly convinced that the best part of doing an RCT is the months before you start it, when you get to tell everyone you're piloting your RCT and they are all like "oh thats so cool", but you dont have to face the logistical realities yet.

I am becoming increasingly convinced that the best part of a PhD is the summer before you start it, when you get to tell everyone you’re doing a PhD and they’re all like “oh that’s so cool” but you don’t have to actually do any of the PhD yet.

My latest piece is on the state sponsored disability & slow poisoning of kids in village of Dhanbad, Jharkhand.

For years the govt knew their water had high fluoride. It failed to provide them safe water. An entire generation of kids affected.

The fact that this job exists is just such a telling comment on the Indian economy and how the demographic dividend has been squandered.

Starting today my new personality is going to be of a confused interdisciplinary scholar who keeps reading theories from different disciplines and tries very hard to understand overlaps but eventually gets more confused.

@f_meluzzi Congratulations Federica!!

I always underestimate how wrong and biased I can be about the field realities of my own country and it makes me wonder how much I miss elsewhere. Every field visit humbles me, and that’s probably my favorite part of learning to be an economist.

Happy Independence day, everyone.

Flashback to the time when national TV used to promote love and harmony in the country. ❤️ 🇮🇳

Investigation: Sanitation workers conduct autopsies, proxies of squeamish physicians reluctant to touch the dead. The system reinforces and strengrhens age-old, stubborn notions of pure & impure; lack of dignity still ascribed to some jobs in modern India https://t.co/YUhHauDJfX

among the challenges of interdisciplinary research is that I don't know their data format types like .npy and .nc

An entire village in Lao Cai province was wiped out, with +100 feared dead. Saw a surviving mother in tearful agony over her 2 children: “Heaven, I promise to never ever spank [physically discipline] my children again, why did you take them away from me”💔https://t.co/zOX2ErOxVO

My PhD is me, QGIS, ChatGPT and google fighting against each other until one of us crashes and its usually QGIS.
