“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber https://t.co/6cQQpcJVTd

Great research being presented at #NEUDC @HarvardCID this weekend! Joined a session on political economy & conflict (effect of Catholic Church leadership in Brazilian land conflict, TRC in post-Apartheid South Africa, edutainment in Nigeria, etc)

NEW: housing shortages, affordability crises and NIMBYism are growing problems in many countries, but what’s especially striking is how much worse they all are in Anglophone countries 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺🇳🇿🇨🇦🇮🇪

What’s going on?

5 years ago we were talking about pushing the boundaries of where behavioural science can be applied and rigorously tested. Today we share our work on:
- Reintegration of excombatants in Nigeria
- Tackling gender based violence in Latin America

We're only getting started!

I wonder what proportion of people consciously (or subconsciously) have assigned a gender to ChatGPT? And if that assignment varies based on their own gender identity?

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.

Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.
