We also find that the students obtain higher quality postsecondary offers, thanks to improved performance and more ambitious re-application choices. [6/6]

the only work I was exposed to on earnings inequality by gender was some blue-sky-thinking paper on the ‘labour supply of married women’, written by a bunch of men. I hope no one teaches stuff like that to undergrads now. Teach Claudia Goldin’s work. There are no excuses now! 2/2

Hello @CityofYork, the only reason I am buying a car is because this section of bike path to the uni is not lit when dark. I can’t risk it with 2 kids under four on pitch black paths. I’m sure I’m not the only one put off by this. Can we fix it please? @SustransNorth @Sustrans

It was great to attend the @AUEB conference in Naxos as a little break from maternity leave! Going to a conference with a baby is a challenge but it was totally worth it to finally meet @rmegal in person after working together for quite a few years!
Heading to Naxos tomorrow for the 31st @AUEB conference. Our session is on Wednesday evening following a session to honour the work of Miltos Makris, and the Wedn keynote by Stelios Michalopoulos. It’s great that I will get the change to finally meet in person coauthor @AspasiaB!

Tuomas' advice and guidance will stay with me for years to come. He was a wonderful and supportive mentor, a source of calm and wisdom during the formative post-doc time. He will be sorely missed. Below is his obituary in the largest Finnish newspaper.
