“But the challenge that is in it for us, is that we begin to look at this precious resource through different eyes.” Hear the powerful and convincing voice of Sen. Edmund Muskie ’36 as he launched the #CleanWaterAct 50 years ago. bates.edu/news/2022/10/14/au…

To #Bates2020, the Hathorn bell will still ring in your honor, and we will all be together when we begin our Commencement ceremony at noon on May 31. We invite our community to join us as we celebrate our exceptional class of soon-to-be Bates graduates: bit.ly/2VZkVr8

Faculty: You have No. Idea. how complicated students’ lives have suddenly become. I just received an email from a student explaining matter-of-factly the bizarre but utterly believable Rube Goldberg-esque way his life has been suddenly turned upside down. Please be compassionate.

Short Term at Bates is a time when students and faculty live and breathe one class, and one class only. See what @BatesEcon professor @lynnelewis20031 and her students are up to for the Short Term class on sea level rise and the future of the Eastern Seaboard.

As academics, we are at fault for the confusion created by correlative studies that hint at causation and those relying on obviously incomplete data. In those situations -- we must realize that not writing the study is the most responsible option. forbes.com/sites/craiggarthw… – at Chicago, IL

This morning's class @BatesEcon was on Antebellum puzzle (i.e. a period when America grew wealthier and sicker - a weird paradox). It is my favorite class of economic history because it mixes econ, demography and history. Here are my slides : vincentgeloso.files.wordpres… #econtwitter

Stop what you’re doing: this is an actual economics working paper published by an actual university. And it is brilliant. Y’all might want to update your reading lists now. econ.appstate.edu/RePEc/pdf/…
