"With your convictions and mine"? The French word "conviction" doesn't have the double meaning that it has in English... Still, interesting choice of words.
Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump. Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.

Happy birthday to two amazing, wonderful colleagues!
62 speakers, ~100 attendees from around the world, 3 parallel sessions, 4 plenaries over two days. Our alumni answered the call in amazing numbers! This @EconUCL PhD alumni conference is a resounding academic success, and a moving reminder of how much we all love our department!
Featured: Public sector wages may be somewhat higher compared to private sector wages -but is there really a long-time pay gap? @fpvinay @EconUCL explains what points to consider in this comparison: ‘Does it pay to be a public-sector employee?’ wol.iza.org/articles/does-…

Very nice chat over coffee + cake with some 3rd-year @EconUCL students. Really interesting and helpful to hear their feedback and ideas to take our BSc programme forward. Looking forward to another session next week!

Slightly random weekend tweet for those interested in guitars out there: I had never played a Rick before, came across this reasonably priced beauty, and now I can’t put it down! It’s awesome and super versatile. Why aren’t these guitars more popular?
Good to see @ucl contributions from @lorrainedearden @IOE_London & @fpvinay @EconUCL to @PolicyUpen @UUKIntl report on Ukrainian recovery & reconstruction, following @ucl_ei efforts to map & mobilise expertise
