    I didn’t expect to be defending my dissertation alone in my living room with a blazer over sweatpants and self-cut hair, but I am extremely happy with my successful defense! I’m also deeply indebted to my committee: Chris Avery, @ProfDavidDeming, Tom Kane, and @JoshuaSGoodman.

    Went to Google Scholar to search for an article and was unexpectedly (and pleasantly) surprised by this today! I think it's important to take a moment to celebrate milestones and successes when so much of research involves rejection. Time to go get a celebratory latte! 🥳☕️

    I just added a task that I forgot to include on my to-do list *after* completing said task so I could feel the singular joy of crossing it off. I might be crazy, but I can't be the only person who has done this, right?

    Michael Bloomberg has apologized on the campaign trail for the stop-and-frisk policy he touted during his time as mayor of New York City. But a new study illustrates just how far reaching the policy was. #k12 #education chalkbeat.org/posts/us/2020/…
