“I don’t control the railways or the flow of commerce.” — Barbie
Shoutout to @jeannasmialek for getting a reference to both Barbie *and* Taylor Swift into her question to Powell.
His vows included the line “Shall I compare thee to an insurance policy?” — for this economist, that was romantic enough to embrace the qualifying life event known as marriage.
Exciting to see @SNovicoff present her interesting and timely work (with @ProfTDee ) on early literacy support grants at #AEFP2023 !
It’s fitting that the Drag Race episode on the last night of #AEFP2023 is about teachers!
Thank you to everyone who attended and for the great comments!
