blog highlights

I’ve got a lot of posts on this website — here are a few of my personal favorites:

• the grad school experience: read a post on doing difficult things, thoughts before the job market, or motivation.

• education: my favorite “teaching” post is my mdrd primer, though I’m also quite fond of quasi-experimental methods and tau.

• how i got here: I chronicled my eventual choice to go to grad school across three posts (one, two, and three) during my senior year of undergrad. Plenty of musings on values, happiness, life, and much more.

• fun potpourri: read about running dormspam-the-game (with Whitney!) or my love letters to chalkboards and whiteboards.¹

1. This post is, somehow, one of the most-read blogs on MIT admissions. A Redditor once referred to it as “the old MIT method”; they were probably unaware that it is just the result of a college student’s hyperfixation. ↩
