The more girls in a class, the merrier.

Data on 87k students: In cohorts with more girls, boys and girls have better mental health. More female peers predicts closer friendships for boys—and better body image & STEM grades for girls.

Girls build cultures of competence and care.

To all economics PhD applicants, we would like to draw your attention to the PhD in Sustainable Development at Columbia University.

The PhD is for economists and scientists interested in issues related to the environment, climate change, energy, development, poverty, health, transport, inequality, labor, political economy, and public policy more generally.

With an inclusion of the natural sciences and/or engineering, the program is designed to provide a deep understanding of the interaction between natural and social systems.

What’s the gender composition of the newest cohort of US Econ PhD students?

My peers and I found which “top-ranked” schools did well this year—Yale, Michigan, UCSD.

And which schools have room for improvement—Penn, Minnesota, and many others, including Princeton and Harvard.

[Paul Novosad @paulnovosad]

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
