Had the pleasure of attending the SPARRC Methodology Workshop on Causal Inference this week at UCSD, it was great meeting so many cool (and impressive) people studying religion and cooperation!

Attended the first ever performance of Dolly: A True Original Musical on Friday night at Belmont University! Awesome show. And (the actual) Dolly Parton came on stage to introduce the show (as poorly photographed below)! One of the many pluses of living in Music City! 🤠

My paper (with Cheryl Kaiser) “Partisan Communities and Affective Polarization” has been accepted by Social Psychological and Personality Science (SPPS)! 🥳
This is the paper I’m most proud of (so far), and I can’t wait to see it in print! 😊
