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.

Stata users will get a kick out of this: @statacorp.bsky.social v1.0 (released January 1985) only had these 44 commands. Source: stata-journal.com/sj5-1.html

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?

Update I just got from home. Looks like she tuckered herself out from gathering all the chew toys around her.

It's tempting to check out for summer, but don't forget about #SHESG2025! The deadline will be here before you know it. Why not go ahead and submit an abstract, check it off your summer "to do" list, and whip up a nice margarita to welcome the break! Submit at gilleskie.web.unc.edu/shesg-2025/

"I'm going to govern in econometrics" is a winning campaign slogan for the ages.

With the Agency for Healthcare [sic] Research and Quality on the chopping block, I thought it might be useful to highlight a few ways in my own research on efficiency and access in the U.S. health care system has benefited from AHRQ data, collaboration and funding.

Does bad press hurt business? Our study finds no detectable effect of the Jared Fogle scandal on Subway patronage, challenging assumptions about the role of repugnance in consumer behavior. Consumers may separate a firm's products from its public symbols. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A great thanksgiving weekend with family as we celebrate the start of December. Also got an old box of my mother’s Christmas decorations that I haven’t seen since she died over 20 years ago. Feels very special to have them in my house now, though, some have seen better days!

Last night, my sister Devon was honored at the City Parks Foundation annual gala in Central Park with the People and Parks Award, for the partnership between @TYWLSBronx, the school she co-founded and is principal of, and City Parks. It was an amazing event, and I am unbelievably proud!

Was a great day!
