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 see all posts ever.
If you only want to read a few posts of mine, I recommend the following:
- These three posts (one, two, three), chronicle how I chose to go to graduate school; I talk about my thoughts on values, working, choices, and much more. While it is a long journey (about 14,000 words total), if you read these posts, you'll have a good sense of who I am as a person.
- 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 post about quasi-experimental methods and tau.
- For some random fun posts, read about running dormspam-the-game (which I ran 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.
