A big chunk of my research agenda since PhD focuses on violence against women & their LFP. Early on a senior economist told me these weren't important questions. I vehemently disagreed but worried I wouldn't publish well. But this prompted an important career realization: [1/5]

.@yandexcom is the largest technology company in Russia and the country's second-largest search engine.

The former head of its news division, Lev Gershenzon, just made this remarkable post on Facebook, addressed to his former colleagues. My translation.

⚡️Ukrainian tennis champion Elina Svitolina defeated Russia's Anastasia at the Monterrey Open on March 1, pledging to donate her prize money to Ukraine's military.

Switzerland, one of the major banking centres for wealthy Russian oligarchs, says it will match EU sanctions against Russia.

Its "unique and difficult" decision is a break from its decades-long policy of strict neutrality.

Presidential spokesman of Ukraine to Russian soldiers: "Many of you have already surrendered but we do not consider it captivity. We do not consider your switchover to our side as something shameful. This is how you preserve your military honor by renouncing a criminal war..."

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

In which I try to explain the "big gun" sanctions of SWIFT cutoff and central bank asset freezing -- how they work, what they're intended to accomplish, what the difficulties are, and what the unintended consequences might be.

My advice for new grad students:

Stop comparing yourself to your classmates as soon as you can. Measure your current self against your past self.
Soon you’ll have your own advisor, your own project and your own plan for your career.

Everybody has to walk their own path.
