Auguri!!!

🧵 Non tutti sanno che, dopo lo smantellamento brutale del sistema pubblico della ricerca e il drastico ridimensionamento del dipartimento dell’istruzione, è iniziato il definanziamento delle università private americane.

Vediamo in che modo e con quali conseguenze. 👇

Map showing the number of times a location has burned in SoCal and which kind of fire it was: one burning under Santa Ana winds, or one that was a summer, fuel-driven fire without Santa Ana winds. Malibu area had burned at least 8 times from 1900-2017, and has burned twice now since. Image from Kolden and Abatzoglou (2018): https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6255/1/2/19

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

Did everything feel a bit more mathematical this morning? That's because 2025 is a perfect square ✅!

Yes, 2025 is 45² = (1+2+...+9)².

It's the first square year since 1936, and the next one is 2116.

But that's not all… read on ⬇️👀

0/ A holiday economic theory reading list. Some of my favorite pieces on theory that can be read with minimal sweat, but with the maximal intellectual reward. In no particular order:

Why Probability Probably Doesn’t Exist (but It’s Useful to Act like It Does) All of statistics and much of science depends on probability—an astonishing achievement, considering no one’s really sure what it is

Not bad. The one-paragraph biography of Frank Ramsey is 🔥🔥🔥

The rational response is to binge-eat guacamole every day until January 20th and you’re not going to convince me otherwise

Only 19 of the 138 papers co-authored by Francesca Gino have posted data. Several of those have been retracted.

But how many have actually been audited as part of the "Many Co-Authors" project?
