I wrote a piece for @EducationNext with my @center4risc co-founder @JeffreySeverts on why I believe high school students need an intro to #DataScience before they graduate. It should be part of a strong math preparation (and other subjects too) (1/3) .

How often do you see a social scientist make a prediction about what will happen over the next 20 years and then go back and see how things turned out? . @Prof_Donohue and I do that for abortion and crime in a newly published paper:

Thanks for an awesome conversation to @itsafronomics and @alieward on @Ologies podcast. Some ideas: fire your money manager, don't ask economists about #stonks, and we need to rethink the way we teach our kids. Also @itsafronomics would welcome tips on how to improve my Twitter.

My organization, the Center for Radical Innovation for Social Change (RISC), is looking for new Analysts! This job is for those interested in not just thinking about or studying social issues, but trying to be a part of creating real social good. Apply:

If we do things right, there is room for both Calculus and Data Science. Students I teach at @UChicago become expert in calculus, but are totally unprepared in data science. Students need a diversity of math to be prepared for college (or any career today) @DSI_UChicago (2/3).

16 states have managed to introduce #DataScience basics to K-12 students without issue, yet a controversy erupted in CA with their math framework. I wrote to @FortuneMagazine why I think the 3-year debate over math seemed to miss the forest for the trees:

Data is the new oil! Every student should learn some data science before they graduate high school. @ZarekDrozda, who is helping lead the effort @dsforeveryone I helped launch at UoC, just wrote this piece for @hechingerreport.

CALLING ALL MATH TEACHERS: Do you have a great idea for a lesson plan that teaches students about data science? We want to help you scale it nationwide. Our first ever Bite-Sized Lesson Plan Competition is officially live! Learn more: #iteachmath".

We’re hoping to test/pilot models of #datascience ed to see what works, and a coalition is building resources to empower teachers to do it @dsforeveryone. Teachers in stats, science, and more have been teaching the building blocks for some time. I bet we can go even further (3/3).

I had a great time speaking with the @BigBrainsUC Podcast about my work in economics, the importance of #DataScience in making decisions, and some of our ongoing projects at @center4risc!.

One of my favorite economists @ProfEmilyOster having a big impact:. via @BW.

“If your life were a story, what would be the biggest plot twist?”. My daughter Amanda just released a book she’s been working on, made of questions to spark more meaningful, entertaining conversations for anyone. Check out her work below:.

A new project I've been working on, premiering Aug 21st. follow for more updates!.

Excited to congratulate the 30 winning teams selected for the ‘21-‘22 Learning Engineering Tools Competition! My team @center4risc applauds their innovative ideas, all which have potential long-term benefits for our students. Read more about the winners:

Interviewed with @AnyaMarchenko6, my former RA, to talk about social good, our new center at UChicago @center4risc, and other things for a podcast she's hosting; thanks for a great conversation Anya!.

Super grateful to have been named an Innovation Fellow at @SchmidtFutures. Read more about my work with them below:

A colleague at Dartmouth wrote a great piece on what’s broken with high school math. Thanks for sharing this @dan_rockmore.
