An ad for making bulk purchases of Hillbilly Elegy
It's scary how smart the algorithms are getting. We recently bought a fire pit and now they're showing me ads for bulk buys of J. D. Vance's book.

The grad is from China
Epstein and Summers referred to her by the codename "Peril"

Beautiful article on Ali Riley who has retired after an amazing career in soccer.
(If her last name sounds familiar to you as an economist, then that's no surprise. She's the daughter of UCLA auction theorist John Riley.)

Research output after tenure drops off a cliff for business, economics, sociology, and other non-lab fields.
But it remains high post-tenure in lab-based fields such as chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering.
