Immigration is the best.

I had a strange dream. I woke up as the boss of a large Australian university and went straight to work fixing it.

I capped international students, made degrees harder, forced students back onto campus, and rebuilt the university around one simple idea: the real product isn’t the degree, it’s the trust that comes with it.

Then I woke up. https://t.co/vBnCs6UKOn

@isaeminhafalir Every application is assigned (at least) one “lead” general assessor, who should be the most familiar with the topic. So, the yes/ no column is just telling you which of the three general assessors who assessed your application (or EOI) was the “lead” one.

A mathematician and an engineer are staying in a hotel (separate rooms).

Late at night, the engineer wakes up and discovers his bed is on fire. He rushes to the sink, fills the ice bucket, dumps it on the bed and extinguishes the fire. He goes back to sleep on the waterlogged bed.

Meanwhile, the mathematician wakes up, discovers his bed is on fire. He looks over, sees the ice bucket, concludes there's a solution, and goes back to bed

@mlkovach1 @benleo_econ @davidalmog25 Sure, but I assume you’re referring to second-degree price discrimination; which is a screening mechanism. And so are auctions.

@benleo_econ @davidalmog25 @mlkovach1 Dutch auctions are cool! https://t.co/uweNwMX04M

The hug that changed modern medicine.

In 1995, at The Medical Center of Central Massachusetts, premature twin girls Kyrie and Brielle Jackson were born weighing less than two pounds each.

While Kyrie slowly gained strength, Brielle struggled severely—her oxygen levels plummeted, her heart rate became erratic, and doctors gave her little chance of survival.

Against hospital protocol at the time—which required preemies to be kept in separate incubators—experienced nurse Gayle Kasparian made a bold decision. She placed the sisters together in the same incubator. Almost instantly, Brielle’s condition stabilized: her breathing evened out, her blood oxygen rose, and her heart rate normalized. A now-iconic photo shows tiny Kyrie instinctively stretching her arm across her sister in a protective embrace.

Brielle made a full recovery. The photograph, dubbed “The Rescuing Hug,” went viral around the world and sparked intense medical interest. Subsequent studies proved what the twins had shown in real time: co-bedding and skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) help premature babies maintain body temperature, fight infection, gain weight faster, and dramatically improve survival rates.

What began as one nurse’s act of compassion is now standard practice in neonatal intensive care units worldwide. A single hug between sisters quietly changed modern medicine forever.

Hi, my name is Isaac Martinez. I am a PhD student in Economics at the LSE, and I wanted to share something personal. On July 6, 2025, I suffered a stroke while I was finishing my PhD. It was completely unexpected and changed my life. #EconTwitter #EconJobMarket
