@taylor_wright Congratulations!

Looking forward to the Roger Gale Symposium on climate change and individual freedom. Join us on April 12th!

[FASS UBCO @fass_ubco]

Should we limit individual freedoms to stabilize the climate? Can we stabilize the climate without such restrictions? On April 12, join our expert panel at the Roger W. Gale Symposium in Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

@awg_allan I’m enjoying the snow. Let me know if you get to Kelowna in the spring.

@franceswoolley Vaccine mandate and outdoor coffee breaks?

[Andrea Craig @andreacraigecon]

@joeolivermd @VicLeungIDdoc On Dec 31st, staff at the ICBC vaccine clinic in North Van were instructing people to put their N95s in their pocket and use hand sanitizer outside. They allowed my family member to put a blue surgical mask over the N95.

@DFisman Any cost-benefit analysis also should take into account lost productivity during infection and long COVID, future healthcare costs from long COVID, people’s value of their health with long COVID relative to their counterfactual health, and the value of statistical life.

Using data from the 2018 Canadian Housing Survey (through @CRCDN), @SilasXuereb
finds eviction rate in BC is significantly higher than other provinces and territories (report co-supervised by Craig Jones and me, funded by @HousingRsrch).

@JohnHolbein1 Best: practice two minute spiel with other students each week starting in September. Worst: nobody reads cover letters

[Andrea Craig @andreacraigecon]

@DrEricDing Seems misleading to say “Get your child vaccinated” when the photos and video show children that are too young to be vaccinated at this point.

@TransLink should mandate masks if they want to encourage people to use public transit.

[TransLink BC @TransLink]

Transit misses you! Hop back on board today and reunite with your community. Let’s #ReconnectMetroVan

[Andrea Craig @andreacraigecon]

@crystalmundypsy Even if stores are unwilling to mandate masks for all hours, they should have designated mandatory mask times at the beginning of some (or all) days. Unfortunately, it would not help employees, but it would help cautious shoppers and I think it would increase their profits.

[Andrea Craig @andreacraigecon]

@a_longhurst I will continue to wear a mask in indoor public places and try to shop in stores that require everyone to wear masks (to protect myself and support businesses protecting the community and their staff).

@Mguldi @jenniferdoleac If you cannot use Stata for what you want to do, I suggest using ArcGIS Model Builder. It allows to use drops downs and export as python syntax.

[Andrea Craig @andreacraigecon]

@MaggieECJones If acronyms count, then yes.

[Andrea Craig @andreacraigecon]

@Prof_SWard Congratulations!

@minisciencegirl I just saw this list: https://t.co/Ra4ekEmE1L

[Menaka Pai, MSc MD FRCPC @MPaiMD]

I learned little about Residential Schools as a student in Ontario. So I’ll learn now, and will help my young children learn too. If you are a parent, here are 10 books by Indigenous authors to help start the conversation: https://t.co/kFDIlj5TBq

@ShengwuLi @NickArnosti @economeager Participated in ultimate frisbee and inner tube waterpolo intramurals with other econ grad students, road biked with friends, and had non-econ friends.

@awg_allan Hi Allan, at this point I have more hiking recommendations than restaurant recommendations, but hopefully I’ll have some more ideas in the fall and I can check with colleagues.
