*Every time I tell a NON-economist about this, they say “Cool! So each state has its own Fed?”

On Wednesday I am giving a seminar at the Minneapolis Fed. Every time I tell an economist* this, they say one of two things: (1) “Really? [You??]” (2) “Oof. Good luck.” Neither of these responses has bolstered my confidence.

Recently I started a Substack about economics and decision making. You might like it! Your students might like it! Your colleagues might like it! New post today in which I try to define economics (lmao) and show how it can help you choose things (like beer)! open.substack.com/pub/tenacity...

How many beers should I drink?

No, this is not a post about me emotionally processing the tariffs. Mostly.

A lot of crazy stuff in the Education Department’s letter but did Trump just make it illegal for schools to be test-optional?

I really enjoy grading. To be fair I work in a great context for it. My classes are like 25 students max and I have essentially complete autonomy over my assignments. But I also loved it when I was grading 200 Principles exams at UVA. I like the puzzle of figuring out what answers count. #TeachEcon

I love grading. And it is more fun when it’s something you wrote yourself!

But then I wasn’t included in the “Fun Economist” starter pack so…a mixed bag overall.

I've made a starter pack for the Economics of Networks! 🕸️ This includes economic and social networks and wide range of methods: applied/econometrics and theory. I'm sure I have missed a lot. Please DM/reply with others, including self-nominations. go.bsky.app/4yrQJsw

When I set up VSCode on my new laptop, I chose the deep red background and my husband called it “sociopath behavior.”

Woke up to many new followers (👋🏻) so I thought it might be a good time for a picture of my dog, Luke.

This project is joint work with Ben Harrell, Melanie Fox, Nakul Kumar, Daniel Lee, and Gina Pieters. I’ve learned so much from working with them and I’m very excited to share this work with you all. We would love your feedback.

This week I will be meeting with a firm that has data I would like access to. I believe it will be mutually beneficial if they share their data. I know that some of you on #EconSky📉📈 have some experience with this. What is your advice?

Just made the move from EconTwitter, so it's intro time! 👋 I'm a PhD candidate at UW-Madison. My research interests are in the economics of education and education policy (mostly higher ed), labor economics, and public economics. Oh, and a shameless plug that i am on the job market this year 😉
