I was so excited about @alexeble et al's papers on education in Guinea Bissau and The Gambia that I asked him if we could record an interview on it for my Dev Evon class. I put in online so you can be excited about it with me ;) youtu.be/1kPDa22ysnE

youtu.be/_T5KogLrEpo here's me talking of my research on @Growth_Chat . Happy to answer any more questions you might have!
This paper presented by @andreamatranga was really interesting. The intersection of economics and archeology is not that common but when it happens is always a very different perspective to see how the human past is connected to our present
(1/4) Do you think our ancestors, 10,000 years ago, were Ants or Grasshoppers? In this episode of @Growth_Chat, we talk with @andreamatranga about his paper “The Ant and the Grasshopper: Seasonality and the Invention of Agriculture”. youtu.be/_T5KogLrEpo
