Heading down to @upenn.edu is such a fun sabbatical work day! Got to see a couple great people again, including @atheendar.bsky.social and @emilycleslie.bsky.social (also on sabbatical on the East Coast).
A perfect fall day on campus!

Thrilled to announce I am spending my sabbatical at Princeton with a joint appointment in the IR Section and @princetonchw.bsky.social! 🐯
Week 1 is done and I'm happily settling in. Excited for a year surrounded by brilliant colleagues and inspiring conversations on a beautiful campus.

It was a wonderful closure to the week to get to present in the NBER Crime Spring Meetings today.
I had such a great time connecting with others working on crucial topics! Plus my corner room, balcony-included Sonesta spot is not too shabby either. 🌅

Good morning, Austin! Looking forward to a packed day of researcher-lawmaker conversations on what works when it comes to improving criminal justice system outcomes.
Catch me talking about the opioid crisis and substance use this afternoon!

It’s safety sash season on the rides after work these days!
I loved having my e-bike as my sole commute method this semester, and I’m ready to do it again for the spring!

Taught my last class of the semester today, and now already at the airport, off to San Diego to give a seminar at SDSU CHEPS.
As I walked through security, I arrived right to the beginning of the airport’s annual holiday celebration. What a nice way to kick off this year’s final research period. ✈️❄️

Grateful to share that I have been named a Vanderbilt University C. Family Dean’s Faculty Fellow, a title acknowledging my "existing accomplishments and future potential to make an impact."
This seems like a great opportunity for a glance at the research projects underway and ahead🧵⤵️
