Econ PhD programs need to provide health insurance that covers egg freezing. By the time an average female student go on the job market after a predoc + master’s + PhD, they will be in their early 30s, perhaps without a stable partner.
My PhD thesis analyses Tweets. Today I realized it's impossible to get done in a week the work of the next six months. Today I stop hoping.
@elonmusk
, what do you expect us to do with our thesis when you stop providing access to Twitter data?

Folks! Today I'll be presenting my paper on the impact of feminism on the supply of female politicians in partisan primaries

It was so nice to be part of the Pol Econ & Applied Micro Workshop. It's the most wonderful time of the year to be in Bolzano! Thanks to all the organisers, this was simply great ♥️
I really enjoyed presenting my paper on the 2017 Women's March and the supply of female politicians at the EcHo Workshop -

My contract as a Postdoc forces the head of the department to suspend me for at least six months without salary in the event of my pregnancy. This does not apply to my male colleagues should they become fathers.

No matters how good and progressive a University is, power outlets in the bathroom of the conference hotel are still meant for "shavers only". No way to plug an hair dryer there! What if in expectation half of the population has longish hairs and no beard?

There we go: in my JMP I analyse the behavioural effects of feminism. I show that a progressive, democratic & feminist uprising caused a surge of the supply of female politicians in the republican primaries. Link:
@fede_braccioli
Absolutely! It's high time we shift the focus from adapting women to the system, to adapting the system for everyone's benefit. Real change starts with rethinking our structures, not just personal solutions.
Thanks for engaging 🗣️

Institutionalizing egg freezing could shift norms, making it an obligation rather than an option, penalizing those who choose to have children early. If all women in the profession choose the freezer, then any defier would pay a large cost.
The goal of the WIND is to connect women using Data Science and Machine Learning in the Social Sciences: it's a great initiative to expand the network of women in such a field.

I'm obviously doing that, but the project must be scaled down
if twitter closes the Academic Research Track: I'll have a sample, not the entire population.

Hi Dereje, if you wish to apply to the Vilfredo Pareto Doctoral Program in Economics you should check this website:
The applications are now closed, but they will open again next fall

Maybe the power went out because someone wants to protect applied micro PhD students who are going to be in the market next year. Imagine how many JMP could be destroyed by that graph!
