Men aren't being encouraged to take caring jobs — and that's hurting everyone Women are disproportionately represented in HEED jobs — healthcare, early education, and domestic work. Why aren't we pushing men to go into these fields?

"Achieving gender parity in STEM fields is an admirable goal. Yet...there’s been next-to-no effort to close the gender gap in so-called HEED jobs — healthcare, early education, & domestic work — where women are disproportionately represented."

Not a podcaster but an academic sometimes looking for other academics to track down their research. Please, when I google you, your Rate My Professor page cannot be the first thing to come up.

Think of the economy as like baking a cake. H‑1B visas supply missing ingredients -- high skill STEM workers. If Trump cuts off access: fewer projects get baked, worse recipes get used, or we import the cake. None of those make Americans better off. #TheProfessorIsIn #TeachEcon

Bias in academic networking A social media field experiment suggests that gender, race, and university affiliation influence the formation of professional relationships among economists.

Academic economists forming connections on social media show a bias toward certain races, genders, and elite institutions, say researchers at @mcgill.ca, Sao Paulo School of Economics, and MIT. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/cha...
