Science can be so humbling sometimes 😆

Batchelor school?

Thank you

If you are in Clear Creek this tornado is going to miss you. It is moving toward Bloomington, not you.

I see it on radar now. Tornado on the ground, west side of town. Bloomington, safe place, now.

Area of rotation with the most likely chance of tornado is now entering Monroe County.

Bloomington, you have only 2-3 minutes remaining to get everyone to your safe place.

Ellettsville, no tornado for you.

No tornado on the ground at the moment, but radar presentation still appears strong. South side of Bloomington, to Clear Creek, in the biggest risk area.

Thank you!!

This storm is a heavy rain & hail (up to ping pong ball size) producer, you will likely not be able to see a tornado coming. Do not try to do that.

This tornado warning includes Bloomington, so you should take the safety precautions you normally take.

The most dangerous side of the storm is the southern side -- greatest tornado risk should be downtown southward to Clear Creek.

So if you're a family evicted from your apartment, or a mother fleeing domestic violence with her children, or someone unhoused trying to get off the street or out of their car for a night... you're not allowed to stay at these Asheville hotels.

Just unabashed discrimination.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Happy October 3rd to all who celebrate

I think it was but I am not sure if or where it will be posted…it was a lot of fun to prep and give. Maybe I will write it up 😃

Very excited for the opportunity to give a keynote titled Harnessing Community Engagement to Solve Common Methodological Challenges in Social Science Research at the annual @iaphs.bsky.social meetings!

Join us if you can!

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

This is a big deal

Drat 🙃 I love pens but being a lefty makes other peoples recommendations tough 🙂 unless they are lefties too

Are you a lefty?

Tragedies are political.

Not bc we want to score points against "the other side" but bc we want to improve the conditions that contributed to those tragedies and prevent future death and destruction.

Doesn't matter if it's a school shooting, a pandemic, a wildfire, or a flash flood.

My supervisor is really taking her role seriously today.

I swear I am on task…but maybe it’s not the task she wants.
