We updated our team photo slide for some upcoming talks. How lucky I am to work with this amazing group of people at the BIP Lab at UChicago! Every day with them is a gift to tune out the noise and discuss ideas that matter. Hopefully, our efforts will one day make the world a better place.

Absolutely wonderful day at Penn GSE. Loved meeting the enormously talented IES Fellows. Finished the day with one of my favorite activities - a walking campus tour. My photo-savvy host made sure we stopped for all the iconic photo ops.
