@Econ_4_Everyone @uditikarna @andrewrsimon @haruka__uchida @Nature @KarnaUpendra Proud moment for all of us❤️

I can think of few things more satisfying than what I was able to just do—let @uditikarna @andrewrsimon and @haruka__uchida know that our @Nature paper on the excellence gap was just accepted!

We even had a few parents on the line! @rekhamkarna and @KarnaUpendra and the Uchida’s (@naoshigeuchida)
from the famous Uchida and Warabe-Uchida lab @Harvard

@meharpist was her usual brilliant self in handling the paper. She better be careful, as soon this type of editing will become the Nature norm rather than the exception! Future editors might not appreciate the high bar she is setting!

Why is there a gender gap in salary? I'm so glad to see the @NobelPrize in #economics go to Claudia Goldin for her work explaining that it is primarily due to the inflexible structure of American workplaces rather than individual choices. More in @nature https://t.co/kckjMCpTW2

And, not to be forgotten, the indomitable @uditikarna is heading up another team! They call themselves the “baby coders” not because they are babies or maladroit dunces but because they are just getting started. Hey, my son is in there!
