Always invigorating to attend the PhD Excellence Initiative Workshop organized by Peter Henry @hooverinstitution.bsky.social and hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

I attended with VLab RAs, Taylor McDole and Bahiyah Leito, and served on a panel on the hidden curriculum in economics.

Friday was #SpelmanResearchDay.

Several of my mentees in VLab and the Lisa D. Cook scholars program presented on migrant remittances, retirement preparedness, and the motherhood wage gap.

Keep up the great work, Hannah Hailemicael, Sarah Lokenauth, Zione Yeboah-Amankwah, and Taylor McDole!

A productive spring break in Los Angeles! I presented my research on retirement preparedness at @usc.edu, gave an overview of my career and research at @pepperdine.bsky.social, collaborated with my co-author, #LuisaBlanco, and met with several colleagues @priceschool.usc.edu @schaeffer.usc.edu.

And, it’s a wrap! Great visit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Research Department the last couple of days to discuss common research interests in household finance and applied micro. Thanks for the invite, Raji Chakrabarti, #WilbertvanderKlaauw, @danielmangrum.com, and colleagues! #EconSky

I had a great time this weekend celebrating the life of Gary Charness. It was good to see many long-time colleagues in experimental economics, including @eckelc.bsky.social, @johnlist.bsky.social, and @lisev.bsky.social. A special thanks to #CharlesNoussair and #MartinDufwenberg for organizing!
