Bonus of working late is I am much less annoyed about being called by my almost three year to put her blanket back on her because she is cold than if I had already been asleep. I get to enjoy a sweet parental moment instead of mentally grumbling that she can put her own damn blanket back on 😆

Why not a 211 team tournament??They could even have the preliminary rounds organized by continental league, to reduce travel - and allow more host nations to get in on it! Maybe then the top few teams from those tournaments could meet in some sort of final tournament in a rotating host country… 🤔🤦♂️

Used to go to bed much later Fridays and Saturdays, staying up with friends and loved ones. Now I prize weekend nights as ones where I can permit myself to go to bed early rather than staying up to work. Love the work but it never ends! Guess that’s why I get the small 💰💰 #Academia #EconSky
Highly recommend listening to the Scam Inc podcast series by @economist.com. Eye opening and a bit scary. Never realized how huge and advanced the whole global scamming industry has become. First half of the series is available free and well worth a listen.

Gave my first economics (micro development) lecture in French today! It went pretty well but translating terminology off the cuff will be tough.
Terms I learned during my lecture:
-standard error = écart type
-shadow wage = salaire au noir
-derivative = dérivé
