PhD students fare worse in terms of mental health than their peers not pursuing graduate studies. At least 80% of this health disadvantage is attributable to the time in the PhD program suggesting that doctoral studies causally affect mental health. jtag.se/pub/workingpapers/Ke…

I'm speechless. Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper. The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion. In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds. Source 👇

I wouldn’t be able to do a PhD in economics these days. I wouldn’t want to either.
My jaws keep dropping as I go through 70 PhD applicant files. People w/ 2 coauthored papers & an interesting solo writing sample don’t even make it to the top 10 in my pile. The level of knowledge, research experience & passion these kids bring to the table is just remarkable! 🤩

If “your RA”: * conducted your literature review * spent months on location collecting data * wrote tons of code cleaning or analyzing your data * did all the time consuming things you did not have time for They deserve to be a co-author, not a thank you footnote!

Should we care? Not sure. With lower standards the median-to-bottom student will for sure lose out. The top will always be as dutiful as ever. It will create inequality of human capital, that's for sure. 11/n
