During my junior job market, Amy Poehler was two tables over at the recruitment dinner. I tried to act nonplussed because I wanted to appear like a serious economist but during the 1:1 meetings the following day, word had spread, and everyone asked me if I had seen her.

@noahgreifer.bsky.social was my post-doc and I cannot recommend him more highly if you need a super smart statistical consultant / programmer. He is the force behind MatchIt, cobalt, and other packages, and is also just a fantastic team member.

Question for folks who are at Harvard or have colleagues/friends there. I'd like to know if your research is lost/ruined (as opposed to delayed/paused) by the NIH grant terminations. Can you shoot me a DM/chat?
