I'm excited to share that I'll be moving to Chicago to pursue a PhD in Public Policy at @HarrisPolicy! It's been a long journey to get here, and I want to acknowledge all the people who have supported me along the way. Short 🧵

For extra credit, many of my health economics students made memes about class content. A short thread:

Your chances of being hunted by a turkey are low, but never zero.

If you haven't mixed us, a public transit system, up with a nonparametric Bayesian regression approach which uses dimensionally adaptive random basis elements, are you even from the Bay?

“And we shall make a national health insurance program and call it Medicare.”

“And it’ll cover everyone?”

“Not at all. But we shall have another program called Medicaid.”

“And it’ll cover everyone else?”

“Also no.”

“But it’ll be nationally administered?”

“Not really.”

I also want to give a shout out to the @DukeEcon MA program for helping to prepare me for the next phase in my career! The training & advising I've received here has been immensely valuable.

I want to thank my letter writers Jeff DeSimone, @KateBundorf, and Keyoung Lee. I am also grateful to my friends at @EBP_US, and to @AngelaEKilby and @SasserModestino from @NUEcon who helped me get started on this path!

I am becoming increasingly convinced that the best part of a PhD is the summer before you start it, when you get to tell everyone you’re doing a PhD and they’re all like “oh that’s so cool” but you don’t have to actually do any of the PhD yet.

For a small fee, I will sit in the front row of your presentation and nod excitedly

Just a reminder that this cute little SQL murder mystery activity exists and is a really fun way to brush up on your SQL skills (especially subqueries!)

For a long time I offered my grad and undergrad methods classes simultaneously to Harvard College/GSAS and to the Extension school, and the latter students were great. Super hardworking, dedicated to learning, and brought new perspectives that Harvard often lacks.
