@digitalguyphil @Gannett @inma Good stuff, and good read!

@PhDemetri I use open weather map. It’s very reliable and inexpensive. I can help with some sample code if needed, and there are plenty of examples online.

@drgoldstein @jamesbrandecon I agree with this. I learned a lot in my first few years in outside of academia, but much of it was contextual rather than fundamental. Most fundamental learning I have now is from tinkering, trial-and-error, learning from others, etc. - not papers and books.

Maybe, but people still don't know how to run a logistic regression properly so I think I'm going to be OK for a little while longer.

@causalinf Interesting thought. Happy to share my experience as a Ph.D. economist in tech that is open to all options. Hit me up if you want to talk.

Okay, if “I accept the null hypothesis” doesn’t rile you up, what about this?

Did you know that it’s actually possible for you to say, “I don’t know enough about this to have an opinion”

@HannahBrinks @HenryBodenstine Yes, two star recruit Luke has signed a letter of intent to walk on.

@margaretwalls1 It looks like the speckled egg is a brown headed cowbird egg, a brood parasite! I don’t have any knowledgeable advice about what to do about the nest though.

[Luke Boutwell @JLukeBoutwell]

Pretty good stuff here.

An experiment demonstrating how mangroves protect coastlines. Other habitats such as coral reefs and kelp forests also provide a similar function.

Are macroeconomics and the rest of economics two separate disciplines?
