Opinion Science is back from its summer break, and I'm happy to share this conversation with @dbroockman.bsky.social.

Are you teaching behavioral economics this semester?
Just a reminder that I produced a 5-episode podcast series with Behavioral Grooves on the origins, growth, and future of behavioral economics.
AND we developed some helpful note-taking and discussion guides for use in the classroom...

Yes, I still do research. But I also became obsessed with letterpress printing--its history and contemporary use in communication.
Anyhow, I printed Mother's Day cards, and they're on Etsy. Also, Mother's Day is soon. So, consider this your reminder.
