Crashed their writing workshop (during the lunch break!) to say hello to two of my academic idols, @mirya.bsky.social and @cwolbrecht.bsky.social! We should have gotten a picture, but I did come away with some #MHAWS swag.
Forever grateful for their examples of lifting while climbing.

Sun coming up on a beautiful day in New Orleans (and Winston Churchill), where I’m lucky enough to find myself for the third time this year — this time to discuss the economics of the child care market with state leaders. Excited to discuss policy solutions with those doing the hard work!

I usually follow the sage advice of not looking at teaching evals until right before the next iteration of the course, but this time, I decided to dive right in. My students, all PhD students this semester, really kept me going and I am thankful for them.

Staffing reductions in HHS's Office of Head Start, closing of regional offices, and a leaked draft of the Administration's budget proposal suggests that the Project 2025 vision may be coming to fruition. Head Start had been supported and funded by R and D administrations and lawmakers for decades.
