This little angel got here just in time for Mother's Day. My path as a mom started a long time ago, when I became a step-mom. Then came K. Then an 8 year journey filled with twists and turns, and now, baby H, after starting the process to freeze embryos two years ago.
The book starts with me pumping in an Amtrak bathroom: commuting 2 hours, the primary breadwinner & caretaker, juggling it all but feeling on top of nothing. How did I get there? How did WE get there? It unpacks the history of what happened and science of what we can do about it.
Its title in the UK is my handle Femonomics, published by @HodderNonFic! UK preorders: lnk.to/Femonomics
I absolutely cannot wait to share this story, data, and mandate to find a better way with you all. In the meantime, I'm gonna go have a baby real quick--back soon!

My friend and brilliant scientist Emily Falk has written a wonderful book for the current moment--about the alignment, or sometimes lack of, between what we value and the choices we make, and how neuroscience can help us understand the gap. Grab your copy! bookshop.org/p/books/what-we…

I am hearing that PEPFAR programs are still being stalled, and medication appointments cancelled, despite a waiver in place to allow life-saving programs to continue. Thus, @belindaarch and I are sharing the letter we wrote, signed by 110 economists, urging its continuation. 1/4
This is not a left/right issue--PEPFAR was started by George W. Bush, and R Sen Bill Cassidy is calling for funds to be released: nitter.cf/senbillcassidy/status/…
Medication withheld IS lives lost. People's viral loads will rebound, be transmissible, + may become unresponsive to ARTs. 3/4
PLEASE share the letter widely. Send to journalists, congress, the administration. If you have any contacts on Marco Rubio's team, please share.
If you are an economist, in any discipline, and would like to add your name, you can do so here. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Ok one more job candidate before I head back across the rainbow! Andelyn Russell is a great developmentXbehavioral JMC with a particular knack for building partnerships to run field experiments. Ande convinced a large Indian job board to experiment on both firms and job seekers.
Ande then checks to see if firms simply don't know that workers value these things, finding clear info about how much workers value amenities leads recruiters to change their listing behavior, displaying her superhuman ability to get partners to see the value in experimentation!
Hey #econtwitter! Dropping back over to tell you about a great Wharton job candidate! Xian Ng studies whether households are able to optimize over financial products with different up-front versus sustained payments. This area often has a tradeoff b/t identification and stakes 🧵
If you're looking in HH finance, real estate, behavioral finance, or general applied micro, please take a careful look at Xian! His JMP is very impressive + uncovers a deeply important phenomenon in consumer difficulty optimizing over long time horizons! sites.google.com/jingxianng.…
