Some professional news: I'm sad to say that today is my last day at ideas42. But I'm happy to say that in the fall I'll be a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon in the Social and Decision Sciences department. Very excited to join the academic world!

*Haven't cast ballots and fail to respond to a notice*. This is a practice that deliberately ignores the very human tendencies of procrastination and inattention xitter.cf/AP/status/100618288537…
