Are you interested to join our SPL team in Trento, Italy?
The SPL concentrates on quantitative analysis using #microdata, e.g. on employees or firms, and other #bigdata sources (such as vacancy data, project level FDI data, and a variety of web scraped data) to create innovative #regional indicators on economic activity and assess economic complexity and relatedness within and across regional economies.

Gleaned from an unusually entertaining obituary published today:

1979: Mrs. Terry Martin Hekker publishes an antifeminist book: "Ever Since Adam & Eve: The Satisfactions of Housewifery and Motherhood in the Age of Do-Your-Own-Thing."

1996: Her husband leaves her for a younger woman.

2009: She publishes a second book:

Beavers are really important.

After the huge wildfires in Oregon in 2022, a biologist went out to survey the damage. Not only were the forests blackened, thriving trout populations in the streams were gone, choked to death by ash. “I was in total shock. It just looked like devastation.”

Then he stumbled upon something even more surprising: roughly five acres of pristine greenery in an otherwise burned-out area! At the center were eight active beaver dams.

But this was more than a refuge from the fire. While fish had disappeared upstream of these dams, the downstream water was crystal clear — and trout were thriving as though the fire had never happened! The beaver dams were acting as a water treatment plant.
