My angelic, autistic 12 year old daughter Annika drew this pencil and asked me to share it with you. She gets giddy when her content does better than mine, which makes me happy. Please share it far and wide to keep her fire for art going. We've just barely gotten it rekindled.
I showed Ani the encouraging comments you've been leaving about her art and she surprised me last night by drawing this flower. I nearly cried with joy. You reignited that spark in her. I love each and every one of you for giving her this boost. Can't thank you enough.

***Big Announcement!*** I'm thrilled to let everyone know that the Chicago School in Experimental Economics is heading to Buenos Aires! This edition of CSEE will take place November 4-8, 2026 at the Universidad del CEMA. This intensive one-week summer school is designed to deepen scholars' understanding of frontier experimental methods. Lessons will range from designing and conducting experiments to analyzing and interpreting data to writing up your findings. The curriculum draws from my forthcoming textbook, Experimental Economics: Theory and Practice (amazon.com/Experimental-E…), and participants will also have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research. I'm honored to be joined by an outstanding group of lecturers: Gwen-Jirō Clochard (The University of Osaka) Jared Gars (University of Florida) Luca Henkel (Erasmus University Rotterdam) Justin Holz (University of Michigan) Sally Sadoff (UC San Diego) Julia Seither (University of Chicago) Karen Ye (Queen's University) Applications are now open to researchers across disciplines who work with experimental methods, want to apply them in the future, or teach experimental approaches. Priority goes to junior faculty, but doctoral and postdoctoral researchers are also welcome to apply. There is no program fee, and financial assistance for accommodations is available. Application deadline: April 30, 2026 Please apply here: voices.uchicago.edu/jlist/the-chic… Questions? Contact Melissa De Vries at [email protected] I look forward to seeing you in Buenos Aires!

Hey @UberEats , when you deliver food to the wrong address and cannot rectify, you insist on charging the original customer that never received their food. Is that strategy or error?
The 2026 World Cup draw looks random, but it really isn’t. With forced hosts, confederation limits, and bracket placement for the top seeds, some teams are way more likely to get grouped together than others. Here's the outcome of 1 million simulated draws under FIFA’s rules.
