Thanks David Evans for sharing this... I can't wait to have it out :). And Noam Angrist wrote the prologue.

Today I saw someone present on how increasing girls' education has often failed to translate into women's equal economic opportunity.

I've told the story of the Hawthorne Plant so many times in teaching! Turns out it's an instructive fable.

African sacred ibis!

I really loved this movie. I think it’s useful to go in knowing there isn’t a LOT of plot. It’s a movie to just be with an exceptional person for a couple of hours.

Fascinating observation on the limited interplay between poverty-reduction measures and inequality from Marcelo Medeiros's new book *Os ricos e os pobres: o Brasil e a desigualdade* amazon.com/ricos-pobres-B…

This music video of Yo La Tengo covering The Cure's 'Friday I'm in Love' is fabulously bonkers. Thanks to @HugoNopo for sharing it.

Maybe my favorite movie of the year so far.
