Economics @Harvard. Intern @PostOpinions.
My latest in @thecrimson explains why an endowment tax would be disastrous for Harvard --- an order of magnitude worse than the research funding cuts. Oh, and there are also some NPV calculations, for the nerds out there. thecrimson.com/article/2025/5…
This great piece is written by a Harvard undergraduate. It tells a clear story about the scale and stupidity of the Administration's war on science. Don't miss it. thecrimson.com/article/2025/4…
The Presidential memorandum federalizing the National Guard is disturbingly broad, as I note in this article by @AmySherman1 @PolitiFact–it’s not limited to CA and could potentially be used nationwide. shorturl.at/I40u8
Terrific column on the importance of scientific funding for research universities by former Ec10 student @julien_berman. This chart is striking--basically many of the complaints (fair or unfair) are about the humanities but it gets very little federal funding.
