A wonderful opportunity here. @Tim_Cason and colleagues are constantly pushing the frontier of science. If they allow I would love to drive down and sit in myself to learn.

Workshop at Purdue in May for early career experimental economists! Your expenses are paid for, you learn new techniques and can present your research. Plus, you can stay on for our lab reopening conference celebration! tinyurl.com/yxsazrcs

It was our great pleasure to host Alisa, an amazing scholar! She is on the job market, too, and any sensible department should jump at the opportunity to add her to their team. She is a wonderful colleague! #econX

Goodbye & see you soon! Sadly, my incredibly amazing visit to @PurdueBusiness has come to an end. Thank you so much @Tim_Cason for hosting me! I am so glad that I had the chance to spend the last 3 months in the Midwest - with so many nice people & great experimental economists😊

What the hell happened? When we first started paying for her college tuition, she was a music (vocal) performance major!

My last paper from grad school is in press! Please check it out--thanks to good suggestions from reviewers and a lot more work, it has a significantly more detail than the BioRxiv version @ErikaHolzbaur @JCellBiol doi.org/10.1083/jcb.20230108…

Love to see my great colleagues like @RelihanLindsay cited in the @NYTimes. “The number of downtown clothing stores fell 8 percent from late 2019 to late 2021, according to a study using transaction data from 70 million Chase Bank customers.” nytimes.com/2023/10/10/busin…

Here’s What We Do and Don’t Know About the Effects of Remote Work (Published 2023)

Three years into a mass workplace experiment, we are beginning to understand more about how work from home is reshaping workers’ lives and the economy.

Environmental organizations create or make changes to 1000s of programs each year, but rarely do they deliberately design these innovations to learn about impacts or to test our implicit models of how the world works. We can do better. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Create a culture of experiments in environmental programs

Organizations need a better “learning by doing” approach

Do committees with more women make choices that are kinder to outsiders? Yes, but the social preferences of group members, irrespective of gender, has more influence on decisions. We also show that all genders believe women will make kinder choices than men. @JPubEcon 2/2

So proud of my brilliant daughter @sydneyecason who crushed it on her neuroscience PhD thesis defense at @PennNGG !! She is #PhDone and heading soon to her @Yale postdoc!

She continues an academic family tradition, with PhDs earned by her grandpa Neal Cason (physics), uncle Jeff Cason (poli sci) and dad Tim (econ). We could almost start our own college!
