I’m lucky to support the work of the NGA in launching a Public Safety Executives Consortium. It’s a no-nonsense, solutions-oriented, evidence-based space for leaders from states across the country & across parties. See @arnoldventures.bsky.social story here: www.arnoldventures.org/stories/stat...

Absolutely love to see this! Cambridge should allow more people to live near its jobs, parks, shops, restaurants, & public transit. (No, that doesn’t include historic parking lots.) Allowing midrise housing citywide is a great start.

Cambridge city council just legalized midrise apartments citywide. Last summer, MA legislature legalized ADUs in residential areas statewide. Both policies make it easier to build homes of varying shapes & sizes but differ in specifics. Let's use clear, accurate language to describe policy changes.

This year's Econ job market has, by all accounts, been brutal. If you're still not sure what you're doing next year, applying for external funding to continue your work is a great way to buy yourself time & options. It's a way to "build your own post-doc." Check out AV's open RFPs!

I've spent the past 2 weeks deep in AV's CJ work, preparing materials for upcoming board meetings. It's extremely motivating to see the cool work y'all are doing (and that we're hoping to facilitate). Creative ideas for other ways we can be spurring more and better research are always welcome.

Academic job market candidates: Did you know you can "make your own post-doc" by applying for external research funding? Many/most departments would be happy to provide office space to someone who brings their own funds.
