Results from my Claude Code audit of six Callaway and Sant'Anna packages (two in python, two in R, two in Stata). Same specification, same dataset, same covariates, same estimator, almost never do they agree.

Dementia is emerging as India’s next big health crisis — 8.8 million are affected today, and the number is set to double. Misdiagnosis, stigma, and poor services hurt families most. From lost memories to policy gaps, a crisis quietly grows. https://t.co/3eapRv9x1C

Our founding director Joel Fleishman leaves behind an incredible legacy of friendship, kindness, and passion for public policy. We mourn the loss of a dear friend and mentor who inspired us everyday. We'll miss you Joel.

[Sanford School of Public Policy @DukeSanford]

Joel L. Fleishman, founding director of the public policy program at Duke University, scholar of philanthropy, wine connoisseur, and the center of a legendary network of friends, has died. He was 90 years old.
