Exiting Twitter and heading to BlueSky. Here is my very first post: it's about a new dataset you might want to use!

@shoonlee8 Thanks! No, I don't use Quarto for journal articles - I am still a servant to LaTeX/Overleaf. In part for the formatting reasons, but also because collaboration is easier.

Someday I hope (pray?) that Typst (https://t.co/r4cgAgQbIh) will be mature enough to replace LaTeX...

[Patrick Baylis @pbaylis]

A number of people have been asking*, so I figured it was about time for the 2024 edition of "how to make nice LaTeX tables with R"!

* Technically speaking, zero IS a number.

@abehrer Agreed, so cool. Very grateful to whoever is doing the important work at @WhiteHouseCEA of putting together this report - and that they are thoughtful enough to let authors know when they're cited.

Not gonna lie, I immediately sent it to my mom.

The latest from @headecon: New research has mapped the costs of protecting homes from #wildfires to show they are highest in rural parts of the western US where density is relatively low. https://t.co/sv1sqjn1tu

Shoutout to the @quarto_pub team for their hard work!

[Patrick Baylis @pbaylis]

Markdown lovers unite: if you haven't checked out Quarto for writing your website/slides/articles/whatever in R+Markdown, you should. It's pretty amazing!

What @DrNathanNunn said! Also, we have some incredible (and incredibly nice) recent faculty hires...

[Nathan Nunn @DrNathanNunn]

Thinking of doing a PhD in economics? A little under 2 weeks to apply to UBC's program. Dynamic faculty, great mentorship, fun research environment, amazingly diverse group of students, great city. What's not to like?

[Marshall Burke @MarshallBBurke]

For the ultrarunning nerds, some stats and analysis in advance of the incredibly stacked #UTMB later this week. Writing by the incomparable @MountainRoche, stats by me. https://t.co/6oO3MiDgp8

[Matt Lowe @hmmlowe]

Why are there so many small-scale vendors in developing country cities?

Some new evidence with Banerjee, @GregFisch, @deankarlan, @BenRothEcon: https://t.co/ljuP4a1dso 1/

[Marshall Burke @MarshallBBurke]

Quick thread on a paper we had out last week on wildfire smoke in @NatureHumBehav. Take-home is that current policy approaches to protecting folks from wildfire smoke exposure are pretty inadequate. Paper here https://t.co/gwgSEJ2deU (1/n)

[Patrick Baylis @pbaylis]

@ClimateFran @rach_garr Whoop!!!

[Patrick Baylis @pbaylis]

Yes, please do! Besides the very funny @hmmlowe and the less-funny me, other wonderful colleagues also hiring:

@juhreka13, Heather Sarsons, Victor Couture, Gorkem Bostanci, @GiovanniGallip1, @munirsquires, @JamieMccasland, Samuel Norris, and Sam Hwang

[Matt Lowe @hmmlowe]

Come work with us! @pbaylis and I are hiring someone interested in any combination of devo/enviro/behavioural, and others are hiring too [1/2]

@samkanner @willwheels https://t.co/3RH57SX1a9

[Patrick Baylis @pbaylis]

@willwheels Good reminder! Will add it to the list.

[Patrick Baylis @pbaylis]

@ajhollingsworth So do I! But it's hard, because I have to two-factor authenticate each time. So I do it less. Which is a win I think?

[Patrick Baylis @pbaylis]

#HiddenCurriculum is back for another season! And, to keep the bar low (I assume), I'm the first guest.

Super fun conversation with Alex and Sebastian about developing work habits that allow you to be productive AND enjoy your life.
