@gzt
I agree. (And I think that I count as a creationist?)

Lmao one of my college friends just sent me a photo from my university. Apparently I wrote my name on a whiteboard in the tutoring center over a year ago and no one's erased it yet!

"Are you sure I can sign this entry in the notes as a medical student? Don't want people to, like, rip it out and disregard this advice about antibiotics"
"Why not! You're a valued member of the team!"

Today's the anniversary of me graduating from my undergrad. :) Thank you again to everyone here that was supportive to me during that last semester! I hope that you're all doing well.
My Dad, my brother, and I are going out to celebrate my #graduation anniversary and that my brother has completed another semester at his community college. #undergrad

Ah. I learned either today or yesterday (it's only now hitting me) that my favorite #economics thinker is dead and died in 2016. Gary Becker.
*searches for upcoming, nearby #econometrics conferences*
That date looks...funny [it's tomorrow]

@bthall You don't always get what you ask for, but you rarely get what you don't ask for.
@mpjgregoire
Woah, I really hadn't thought of that. That'd be super cool!
Now that I have a little money and am on the outside of academia, it's tempting to become a member of professional/scholarly associations to get access to the journals and magazines they publish. (I'm currently looking at the American Statistical Association https://www.amstat.org)

Working & Reading Habits:
Where do you find yourself at your most productive? Do you prefer to read papers and do writing / busywork in different locations?
Libraries? Coffee Shops? Campus? Town?
I'm interested in hearing how best you all work and learn!
