đź“Ť The call for papers is out for the @cga-harvard.bsky.social 20th Anniversary Annual Conference and we'd love to see you here! Harvard's pretty nice in autumn and we expect a fabulous lineup of keynotes, panels, talks, and workshops...plus lots of time to catch up and network! #CGA20
🎧 Our new #GLaDpodcast episode—Baby Talk—is all about, yeah, babies. Plus the academic life course, careers and the messy business of advice and decisionmaking. What's not to love?!
With @darribas.bsky.social @levijohnwolf.bsky.social & @pietrostefani.bsky.social

Talking about babies (and _everything_ around them) was trickier on tape than on paper, but I think it was worth the effort, audience be the judge!
In case of “fire”
New #GLaDpodcast episode: #embeddings for the rest of us! Join @rsfrankl.bsky.social, @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and yours truly for a (hopefully) “lay enough” conversation about one of the most interesting ideas in geo-data that the last few years have produced.

My new @ipums analysis of the “Pig in the Python” argues that the demand for young workers will grow dramatically over the coming decades, likely leading to rising wages, stronger unions, and lower inequality. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
A really important topic for academics - having children - and one that still doesn't get much airtime.
