I got to speak with amazing, mission-driven people working at the intersection of evidence and public policy at the 2024 @appam.bsky.social fall research conference. Expect highlights to appear on @mathematicanow.bsky.social’s #OnTheEvidence podcast, as well as our social and YouTube channels.

I'm a big fan of @andrewvandam.bsky.social's Dept. of Data WaPo column and AmeriCorps' Office of Research and Evaluation, so this story felt to me like an Avengers Assemble moment. Great to see #OnTheEvidence guest Dr. Mary Hyde talking about fulfilling jobs: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
