After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

I never realized they could use tools as wedges, that seems so sophisticated.

I am recruting a #postdoc for a project investigating the evolution of avian heat tolerance in @erc.europa.eu project #HotLife. Fieldwork over broad latitudinal gradients, common-garden experiments, and more. Read more and apply👇 shorturl.at/WA1Qa Would appreciate a re-post! @evoldir.bsky.social

What an effective way to highlight the importance of an individual organism. I could easily see a large panoramic piece showing the common ancestors to all species.

Sometimes you just need a clean well lighted place… that makes the best Micheladas. I am sure Ernest would approve.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood

The part of my brain that notices rhetoric thinks Harris is smart to emphasize fundamental freedoms; the policy-oriented part of my brain is glad to see her highlight gun violence prevention.

redwine.blue Is brilliant, wonderful, common sense organizing, by women for women. @hcrichardson.bsky.social joins for a clear explanation of Project 2025, its potential impact, and the importance of this historical moment in we can all make a difference. Spread the word.
