Long-overdue on 2024 recap of cool young researcher! #econtwitter My favorite part of social media + it's exciting to highlight a year's worth of exciting researchers. (Given cross-platform posting, won't link to the original 馃Уs but direct to researcher sites)
This week: thrilled to travel to 11th Regional School Meals Forum for Latin America + Caribbean in San Pedro Sula, Honduras to speak about Avanzar 2030 @IFPRI + the importance of partnerships to generate + use evidence in agrifood systems. First trip to Central America!
This surprised me. I think of myself as having married late (28.5) but that's actually younger than the current average in most states including mine
At what age do people in the U.S. marry?
Is there any feeling better than reading a series of books + knowing that you can't wait to start the next one? It's such a good feeling.
At the train station and just saw someone who appeared to be *using a pay phone*. Mind blown
