Are you considering applying for a health policy / public health PhD program as a person outside of the traditional academia insider group (BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+, etc.)? Please feel free reach out to me if I can be helpful during the process:

- Actually it’s incredibly important for grown men to always be doing little schemes together. By age 30 you should always have a few irons in the fire that may result in a shenanigan, or a goof.
- Flooding caused a power outage at the sears tower and it’s extremely ominous with no lights on
- Replying to @AJHolmgrenthis beautiful scene is in rapid city, South Dakota folks. Don’t all rush there at once.
- Me last week: Chicago is the greatest city in the world and I’ll miss it forever Me 1 day into visiting SF: never mind
- All tweets are humblebrags. PhD rejections? Humblebrag. Thoughts on real analysis? Humblebrag. Frustrations with academia? Humblebrag. We are incapable of social interaction without humblebragging. Stay inside, speak to no one, never tweet.
- Replying to @sam_d_1995"housing should be given to whoever was able to score a rent controlled unit in the mission during a major recession" sounds like a useful policy framework.
- It's only causal inference if it comes from the Causál region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling correlations.
- Say what you will, but nothing compares to the epic highs of Bay Area housing politics, where an author of the Bush torture memo self-righteously rails against government overreach in local land use policy.Replying to @cafedujordI've been informed that the previous commenter is Ted Ullyot, an attorney in George W. Bush's justice department who worked on the infamous torture memo 😬😬😬
- absolute king whoever used the UMich School of Public Health all-school email list as their LinkedIn email
- The undercurrent of the parklet discourse that drives me insane is the entitlement of suburbanites to demand they enjoy the benefits of city living with 0 frictions - the city must cater to their desire to drive their private car in and park for free.Street parking is also private use of public property, and outdoor parklet dining does a lot more for a neighborhood than storing private vehicles does.
- Insane level of Nate Silver telling on himself that he does not know ball.Replying to @NateSilver538There are some confounders here, but the inflation thing is actually statistically significant! Each additional $100 of inflation in a state since January 2021 predicts a further 1.6 swing against Harris in our polling average vs. the Biden-Trump margin in 2020.
- Replying to @yhdistyminenBiden getting no credit and all blowback for leaving Afghanistan, but tons of "more money for endless wars huh!" snark for sending leftover military equipment to Ukraine has been a huge realization no one actually cares about foreign wars.
