Today, I had the opportunity to present our work on alcohol-attributable deaths among working-age US adults. It’s been great learning experience in the field of excessive alcohol consumption prevention so far #AP19

This is a short, fun, and informative podcast that my co-author @RhetSmith was on regarding the impact of marijuana decriminalization and legalization. I highly recommend everyone to listen to it while enjoying your tea/coffee this morning! https://t.co/9iMF5mdPiI

Advice for grad students. Don’t idolize folks who may have lived sad lives chasing academic glory and other ego-stroking endeavors. Seek a well-lived life + real impact. And know there’s a lot more to life outside this profession but you can’t see it if you don’t pay attention.

[Gregory Leung @LeungEcon]

I am thrilled to start my new position @CDCgov today! 😄

#EHEC20 Is the sibling effect in ADHD tagging operating through school/family/other channels?
Schools have incentives to diagnose students with ADHD.
Families may see diagnosis as signal of hereditary conditions.
Doctors may correct misdiagnoses by incorrect referrals.

[Electronic Health Economics Colloquium (EHEC) @HlthEconSeminar]

Why ADHD? Body of literature shows a discontinuity among children born in December vs. January of a school cohort of ADHD diagnosis. #EHEC20 @Shooshan5
