Excited to share that the intro micro textbook my class is using this semester is introducing the new Price Eyaaaaassticity of Demand

A chapter in an intro microeconomics textbook that includes a picture of BeyoncĂ© with the caption “BeyoncĂ© is irreplaceable”

Also anyone who’s in the former whose advice for this is along the lines of “sometimes you’ll want to end it but you just have to grit through it” should (and will, at least by me) be blocked on sight. There should be absolutely no space for that “advice.” Can think of a few I muted for this reason.

Just an observation, and not even sure it’s a useful one: whenever mental-health-in-grad-school discourse is taking place the conversation always seems to be dominated by faculty/folks who already have PhDs. Always very few current students in the replies/QTs.

I feel bonkers asking this but I’m calling in the reinforcements. #AcademicSky#StatsSky does anyone have an intuitive way to define a “clustering” variable you’d use for random intercepts? Running into an issue where every definition I come up with makes it sound like an exposure/treatment variable

Would’ve been earlier but my wife used her invites for stats twitter people, if I remember correctly. Probably a better use of those invites lol

@marymryan.bsky.social made me some incredible stickers for my birthday

A sticker that’s a picture of my cat, screaming, with overlaid text that says “I can’t read!”
