IHTFP. We make fun of the architecture a lot here, but sometimes, MIT really does look nice.

Welcome to my blog, filled with musings about life and more. You can view recent posts below, but can also sort by category, tags, or year.
Some personal highlights:
- These three posts (one, two, three), chronicle how I chose to go to graduate school, with musings on my values, choices, economics, happiness, and much more.
- To see my teaching style (no posts on my pedagogical philosophy yet), the best example is my mdrd primer. For less complicated subject matter, see my posts about quasi-experimental methods and tau.
- For fun potpourri, read about running dormspam-the-game (with Whitney!), chalkboards, and whiteboards.
Many of my blogs are hosted on MIT Admissions, where I was an official blogger my senior year, and an occasional poster at the start of graduate school.
