Shownotes:

Ebehi's fun fact is that she is been participating in "NaNoWriMo" or National Novel Writing Month since 2009. This is a time in a year when people commit to writing a novel in a single month. It's a very awesome initiative and you can learn more about it on their site: https://nanowrimo.org

We also talk about a book that Alex and Ebehi enjoyed called "Who Fears Death", this is a science fantasy novel by Nigerian-American writer Nnedi Okorafor. You can find this and other books we've recommended in our Bookshop "Book list". (click here)

Ebehi has two recommendations of the week, first is a novel called "A Girl is a Body of Water" by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi. A story about a young girl who does not know much about her family history and her journey to find it. (click here)

Her second recommendation of the week is to check out pandas-profiling, a python package for quick and easy exploratory data analysis. (click here)

Alex's recommendation of the week is the application called Cyberduck. It's similar to filezilla and great for sharing and storing files across many devices. (click here)

Sebastian's recommendation of the week is the free ebook "Publishing in the Economics Profession" by Sebastian Galiani & Ugo Panizza as editors. They have several articles on issues regarding the publishing process and it's a great resource for starting to dig into that topic. (click here)
