How The USA’s Only Car-Free Village Works YouTube video by Half as Interesting

Isn't it fascinating? I learned about it from here: youtu.be/qh0w3MpBstQ?...

I essentially took the entirety of the first 2.5 years of my PhD, 55 hours/week and set them on fire. Nothing productive or useful arose.

Those years are also the years that made me a very good scientist.

Grunt work and failure and friction IS the work. There is no way around learning.

Não! Vou procurar. Obrigada!

Close up of bubble snail on a rocky shelf. Bright blue edges around a ruffled, petal-like mantle of rose and maroon. Two tiny eyes peep put from the centre. The lower half of the image is a colour palette picked from the animal

Delighted to share our revised paper (w/ @juliaturner.bsky.social & @jacobbastian.bsky.social ) showing that Universal Pre-K has broad effects on local labor markets — effects well beyond only mothers. Larger effects for full-day programs. nber.org/papers/w33767

Feels like someone should play this on a piano and make a soundtrack for it!

Close up with a beautiful nudibranch on a rocky reef. The lower half of the image is a palette of swatches made from the nudi's vibrant colours.

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs.

But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅

First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti.

I was once on a plane in the wrong time of year for this (around this time, but YEARS ago) and spent a solid 1.5h overhearing someone rant about Duke. Quite the day for my noise cancelling headphones to break.

It really is the best use and it becomes no longer an option so quickly 🥹

Well we need a nomination campaign for @paulgp.com then!

For real 😂 my two boys are going to learn how to cook and dance and I'm certain they'll find excellent partners relying on these skills alone

The day my now-husband made me scones for breakfast over 10y ago was the moment I knew I was going to marry him
