As researchers in the "global north," we have an obligation to help our research assistants. For 12 years, I have worked with Kou, and there is one more deserving of a chance to study @LSEnews , so please consider donating: gofundme.com/f/get-kou-to-he…
In case anyone's been wondering what my life's been like since I left academia. This has been a great fit for me, and I'm always happy to chat about what applying PhD skills in the private sector might look like for folks considering a similar shift. #AltAcChats #phdchat
We're thrilled to announce RS21's Data Analytics Team has expanded. For years, our analysts have worked exclusively in fed gov. Now the team will work across industries. Director of Data Analytics Katie Webster (@webster_km) discusses the team's growth: medium.com/rs21/introducing-…

For all who have been wondering what I've been up to since leaving academia. Really proud to be working on such pressing issues.
A new @CDCMMWR report shows that when COVID-19 cases increase and ICU beds fill up, excess deaths from all causes occur in the next few weeks. Vaccination and other prevention measures are key to preventing big increases in COVID-19 cases. Learn more: bit.ly/mm7046a5.

Alright twitter hive mind: what's one thing you wish you could make sure students understood about communicating quant results?

Exhibit A for imposter syndrome. I’ll spare you exhibits B, C, D and so on. I suppose there’s more than one possible takeaway ....

If there’s one message I want to cut through to everyone in this country, it’s this: The vaccines are safe.
For yourself, your family, your community, our country — take the vaccine when it’s your turn and available. That’s how we’ll beat this pandemic.
Well, this post is long overdue (apparently having kid #2 decreases my Twitter use) but happy to announce that this week I officially returned to my national security roots and started as a senior analyst at RS21. Why leave a TT position?

At some point in the several years of my PhD, we set down roots. Built a support network, had family relocate for us, etc. That was invaluable, and it's something that too often academics have to sacrifice. I didn't want to give that up.
