on-boarding a new grad student this fall and formalizing my previously haphazard, "need to know" approach to sharing readings.

goal is to assign one "skills based" reading per week in addition to the regular research stuff.

here's what I have; comments and suggestions welcome
1. how to do good descriptive work by @loeb_susanna @dynarski @econsarahreber et al.

2. Code and Data for the Social Sciences:
A Practitioner's Guide, Gentzkow and Shapiro

3. how to organize and give a talk (Shapiro)

5. how to write a referee report

6. how and why to get on twitter @JoshuaSGoodman

8. ~ no I won't let this thread get sucked into an R v Stata debate ~
9. McCloskey's Economical Writing

10. this is old and some outdated (but quaint) info like

"Nearly all journals send an acknowledging postcard when your paper is received."

but no harm in reading Hamermesh's on etiquette
