I had a great time speaking with the @BigBrainsUC Podcast about my work in economics, the importance of #DataScience in making decisions, and some of our ongoing projects at @center4risc!

16 states have managed to introduce #DataScience basics to K-12 students without issue, yet a controversy erupted in CA with their math framework. I wrote to @FortuneMagazine why I think the 3-year debate over math seemed to miss the forest for the trees: fortune.com/2023/10/13/fre…
What would you want to ask "Freakonomics" co-author @StevenDLevitt? Big Brains is interviewing the renowned UChicago economist on Oct. 5, and welcomes your questions by replying below.
Data is the new oil! Every student should learn some data science before they graduate high school. @ZarekDrozda, who is helping lead the effort @dsforeveryone I helped launch at UoC, just wrote this piece for @hechingerreport

My organization, the Center for Radical Innovation for Social Change (RISC), is looking for new Analysts! This job is for those interested in not just thinking about or studying social issues, but trying to be a part of creating real social good. Apply: risc.uchicago.edu/news/2022-23-a…
Excited to congratulate the 30 winning teams selected for the ‘21-‘22 Learning Engineering Tools Competition! My team @center4risc applauds their innovative ideas, all which have potential long-term benefits for our students. Read more about the winners: bit.ly/3xx9qdo
Math teachers: the deadline to submit a #DataScience lesson plan idea for our Bite-Sized Competition is 2 weeks away! We want to find and scale the best data science lessons to students across the country. Learn more: bit.ly/3kKbiJc #iteachmath
CALLING ALL MATH TEACHERS: Do you have a great idea for a lesson plan that teaches students about data science? We want to help you scale it nationwide. Our first ever Bite-Sized Lesson Plan Competition is officially live! Learn more: bit.ly/3kKbiJc #iteachmath"

Thanks for an awesome conversation to @itsafronomics and @alieward on @Ologies podcast. Some ideas: fire your money manager, don't ask economists about #stonks, and we need to rethink the way we teach our kids. Also @itsafronomics would welcome tips on how to improve my Twitter.

How often do you see a social scientist make a prediction about what will happen over the next 20 years and then go back and see how things turned out? @Prof_Donohue and I do that for abortion and crime in a newly published paper: libanswers.law.stanford.edu/loaderTicket?f…
“What we don’t need is to make them memorize the times tables.” @StevenDLevitt @joboaler @conradwolfram and @AmyGetzUTDC discuss the need for data science and other, more relevant subjects in K12 math: wsj.com/articles/the-m… via @WSJ @yoreekoh
Interviewed with @AnyaMarchenko6, my former RA, to talk about social good, our new center at UChicago @center4risc, and other things for a podcast she's hosting; thanks for a great conversation Anya!

One of my favorite economists @ProfEmilyOster having a big impact: bloomberg.com/news/features/… via @BW
If 90% of all the world's data was created in the past two years, then why aren't we teaching data literacy in schools? Take a look at this video narrated by @StevenDLevitt about why America's math curriculum needs to change...and what it can look like. freak.ws/3incYnT
