Stata users: if you aren't already, definitely start using bookmarks to create headings and sub-headings in your .do files. Such a big help! **# in a .do file creates a heading; **## = subheading; **### = sub-subheading. Then double-click on them to jump right to that section 👍

Conservatives have more children nowadays. Seems to be true, descriptively (though Brad's analysis is a mess). This is women's probability of being conservative by number of children, across birth cohorts in the GSS
(note: 3 is >=3 children):

💯 and serving as a discussant is something that senior folks are happy to do in addition to presenting!
Though, unfortunately I won't make it to ASHEcon next summer, I have welcomed cold emails to present/discuss on a panel in the past and welcome in the future!

In response to a question I've gotten about organized sessions....yes, it's totally OK to cold email people, even senior people
In my experience, people are generally happy you've thought of them and make it easier for them to submit
If you don't know them: budget time for person to respond
