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.
