Lauren Gilbert

One last "some personal news": I am thrilled to announce I'll be heading back to London in January to join @RenPhil21. I'll be part of @RenPhil21's collaboration with ARIA to strengthen the ecosystem in the UK for high return scientific research.

🚨 Are you interested in Historical Political Economy (HPE)? 🚨 At the Virtual Workshop in HPE (VWHPE) we discuss state-of-the-art research in the field on a regular basis. ‼️ We have just issued a new call for papers. ‼️ Please see the link in tweet #2 if you’d like to join.

Great to see so many WiTT members at Lauren’s inaugural women in science & tech policy meet-up @nwspk - do sign up to our mailing list to hear about future events! 🔭🥂

I know this goes against The Vibes, but I have much less student debt than my British friends - and (generally) a higher graduate premium to pay back that debt.

English graduates leave with £45,000 debt on average compared to $29,000 in America, and most will now pay for decades after 2022 loan system changes eliminated debt forgiveness for many. 4/

The US school year is 180 days. Most schools teach in 45 minute periods. That’s 135 instructional hours per class. US high schools obviously don’t spend 155 hours on Hitler.
