Excited to share my #ICER2021 paper, where we found relationships between short- and long-term memory & computational thinking performance! Presented yesterday, but gotta love all the artifacts from virtual conferences: https://t.co/dE8lKBzpcD

via @NYTOpinion “…these extraneural resources — technology, the body, physical space, social interaction — can be understood as mental extensions that allow the brain to accomplish far more than it could on its own.” https://t.co/VQ29gQx4ep

Hooray!

[Dr. Katie Rich @KatietheCurious]

I just finished my dissertation.

I just *finished* my *dissertation.*

One more read tomorrow and then it goes to committee.

I am at a total loss for what else to say. I am not sure I believed I would ever reach this point. #phdchat #phdvoice #msuepet

Seems like technology should be able to reduce friction in the system enough to make small loans affordable. Is the issue that the profits would be small? #FinEdForward

Moving in the direction of Universal Basic Income? Or just generally getting beyond a Victorian Poor Laws approach to the safety net? #FinEdForward

A4: If I may offer a policy spillover: social policies add to barriers to financial services. Some states have asset limits or “family caps” for public assistance programs. Perhaps removal? HHs needn't sacrifice saving to avoid losing critically needed supports. #FinEdForward

[Andy Isaacs @maththoth]

"Financial 'services' for historically excluded groups is an extractive industry." is the message I'd get. #FinEdForward

A3: To borrow Commissioner @StevenJ4D3‘s rhetorical Q in today’s NPR bank closure article: “When you have young boys & girls riding by & seeing empty buildings, or that building which was once a bank is turned over to a payday lender, what message are we sending?” #FinEdForward
