I had such a wonderful time at #CeMENT2022! I told a non-econ friend last night that this program is the one thing the econ profession does right, and I was only partly kidding. 😉
It was especially wonderful to spend these three days with the women in my group: my amazing co-mentor @ikuziemko, and our mentees @emilycleslie @soyoonahn73 @KOFFIMARLNE1 & Shalise Ayromloo. Keep an eye out for these ladies & their research!
Big thanks to @martha_j_bailey for leading this workshop for the past several years, and to @LoriBeaman for stepping up to take her place.

Free research idea: send the same research protocol to IRBs at schools across the country. Track time to decision, revisions requested, final decision, final protocol allowed in each case.

Bonus research idea: randomly vary gender, race, seniority of the PI who submits it.
Could also randomly vary whether the study is on a "sensitive topic" that could make headlines - something related to race, gender, or neither. (I know scholars who cannot get race-related protocols thru their IRBs anymore.)

More evidence that incarceration has protective/beneficial effects for mental health (due to better access to treatment) -- contrary to conventional wisdom based on correlational evidence.
Note this paper uses data from Norway; the one in the podcast episode uses data from Sweden.

There are reasons we might expect prisons to be more better in Scandinavia. But the counterfactual is probably also better--we don't have universal health care in the US.

This is probably a joke, but since the academic job market begins again soon: What is something that you (or someone you know) successfully negotiated for in academia that might not be obvious to others that they could ask for?

(Obvious: salary, summer months, research $.)
I'll start: course reductions in first few years, specified courses I would teach. Everything in writing!
Related, I know others who've negotiated max number of new course preps over X years.
