Any economists ready to take the leap into tech? This is an incredible opportunity to use your econ toolkit while shaping the way millions of people work and collaborate. The role will eventually be based out of Dallas. https://t.co/pLgFVdwuls

19 years after I struggled to focus in my 7:30 a.m. chemistry class at @FCHSLambkins and thought "is this really the best way to learn," my research on #schoolstarttimes has resulted in policy change in CA!
You're welcome, teenagers!

According to Teny Shapiro of @SantaClaraUniv: "Delaying secondary school start times can be a cost-effective policy to improve students’ grades and test scores." Find out why in her article: https://t.co/OJ7nBoh5KT #sleep #secondaryeducation #education #school

@nj_sanders Rate my professor had some interesting stats and visuals at some point. It’s not from a causal analysis but it’s gotten audible reactions from audiences I’ve shown them to.

Leaving my tenure-track position was the best professional decision I’ve made. I’m happy to discuss with anyone who is considering doing the same.

PhDs who end up working outside the academy (for whatever reason) are not failures.

Enough already with the professional elitism.

Why a PhD is bad for startups:
-Drawn to obscure areas for novelty
-Prefer theoretical elegance to practical complexity
-Obsess about few problems for long periods
-Peer relationships lack trust, require proof
Why a PhD is good:
-You're use to being poor and treated like shit

If you can’t start classes later, you can at least arrange them to work in the students’ favor. PE and non-STEM early in the morning with breaks throughout the day. Struggling students will benefit the most. Great work, @KevFromOakland! #SchoolStartTimes https://t.co/ttUA0kDZBG

Now that’s how you start competing with @amazon! 👏

It’s true. An emotional man is seen as a hero. An emotional woman is seen as a liability.

Slack is looking for undergraduate interns for next summer. Pass this on to any students who want to learn how we use data to build a better product and user experience. https://t.co/mnIb9RKLBn

We recently published the first state-by-state analysis of the economic implications of later school start times in the United States: https://t.co/vaQbagUuYh @econ_hafner @wendytroxel

@manishsinhaha @fortelabs Then find people who made it through those same struggles.

[Teny @tenyshap]

@manishsinhaha So much good stuff in there. This trend is changing the makeup of our society. By waiting longer to have kids, educated families end up “skipping” a generation. So while these families can provide more opportunities for their kids, there will be fewer kids. This has consequences.
