🤓What does an Australian academic do at 2am?
🌏Apparently: Present an online seminar to a global audience @workshopefi.
Thanks @alminas for a great discussion and hosts @ProfSongMa @startupecon @prof_wallskog @camhebert
💤Sleep is overrated when conversation is that good 😎

@JustinWolfers The point is partially valid. Gold does have real value and is heavily used in electronics because it doesn't corrode or interact with other metals/gases. It's use will only increase as AI servers & high-end chips require gold for high-speed data transmission and heat dissipation

@BetseyStevenson The insane actions in the shared post are why many are skipping travelling to the US altogether, including for major conferences.

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018.

What amazing breakfasts we had for ECRs with Xavier Giroud and Caroline Flammer and for Women with Caroline Flammer. @AngelZhong17 and Andrea Lu facilitated great conversations on a wide variety of topics. Biggest lesson: follow your passion, know your goal and stick to it.

Many Aussies on here seem to think tertiary education should be free, because of some combination of:

1. It used to be free.

2. There are social benefits.

Both are bad arguments. (1/N)

The hometown of my colleague (Diego García) was devastated this past week with the flooding as you might have heard on the news. The whole town is facing an unimaginable loss.

Apparently, 95% of the town lost their cars.

They set up a GoFundMe to help.
