My short story "The Spaceship of Theseus" which was published earlier this year by Full House Literary: https://www.fullhouseliterary.com/prose-script/the-spaceship-of-theseus-by-rachel-handley

Free to read, and there's an audio recording of the text.

I like reading #introduction posts even from those I know, so here's mine:

I'm a researcher at the French CNRS. I study the applied practices of economists in the past 70 years or so, across fields (macro, urban, public, welfare etc), topics, methods & policy advice

I think that it is very important for economists & public at large to understand the history of their concepts, tools & models, so I try to post relevant research, archival nuggets & thread some stories

I just looked this up for (another) media interview, so you should all know this too. There are currently 6,483 satellites in orbit. 3,273 of those are Starlinks, 461 are OneWeb. So about half of all satellites that have *ever been launched* were launched in the last ~3 years.
