Welcome to my blog, a place where I try to put some amorphous thoughts into words, take snapshots of my personhood, and share it all with the interwebs. See below for recent posts, or sort by category.
Some personal highlights:
- In undergrad, these three posts (1, 2, 3), chronicled my eventual choice to go to econ grad school, with plenty of musings on values, happiness, life, and much more.
- My favorite “teaching” post is my mdrd primer, though I'm also quite fond of quasi-experimental methods and tau.
- For fun potpourri, read about running dormspam-the-game (with Whitney!) or my love letters to chalkboards and whiteboards.
In the past, I blogged for MIT Admissions; many older blogs are hosted there.
Are you one of the three people left on the Internet that uses Atom/RSS feeds? Honestly, kudos. And here you go.
