#EconTwitter I want to give a transparent perspective on my experience with finances as a graduate student. I hope this thread can assist people starting or considering a PhD program in the Fall of 2023. 1/16

One more viral #EconTwitter post and maybe someone will listen when I say the refusal to adjust stipends with inflation is disproportionately affecting the "diverse" students you claim are important to your department. Wealthy students are not weighing food vs. stata vs. quit.

I find animations useful to teach metrics to undergrads. I believe it improves understanding to see what goes on. Here is a thread with my favorite GIFs, most of them are re-makes of stuff from #EconTwitter.

It’s PhD application season. My advice? Never throw out your theory books after the first year. You might find yourself wanting stir fry, and I assure you that tofu won’t drain itself
