    No better topic to present on than minimum wage to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Industrial Relations section at Princeton, the birthplace of Card & Krueger! #princetonirs100 🐯

    We are devastated to share that our fourth baby was not made for this world. Gabriel Joseph Brown was born on Sunday, August 22nd at 11:33pm at about 16 weeks gestation. We buried him today. Thank you for your prayers for our family during this time.

    I got my first R&R! ...but with major revisions that are definitely not guaranteed to work out. Not sure whether to celebrate or cry 😬

    Although it’s a day of celebration for empirical micro & the credibility revolution, I feel so much heaviness that Alan (my advisor) isn’t here. πŸ’” May his memory be for a blessing.

    Introducing Adeline Elizabeth! Being pregnant during this time had its difficulties, and I’m happy to have moved on to newborn snuggles!! 😍 At 8lbs, 8oz and 20.5”, she’s our smallest baby yet (pandemic stress?!).

    I was devastated to learn of Alan's passing. He has been my advisor and mentor for 4 years. I can't believe I won't be sitting in the chair on the other side of that desk again or hear him say, "Congratulations, Dr. Brown" in two months. We lost a great man and scholar too soon.
    We are saddened to share that Professor Alan Krueger passed away over the weekend. A true scholar and public servant, Alan will be deeply missed by the University community: ow.ly/x4VP50nslsY

    Dr: After we use the med, you’ll want to pump & dump for 24h Me: What is it exactly? I can research it Dr: Lidocaine Me: Lidocaine?! Oh, that’s totally safe for nursing! Dr: But just to be safe…with the baby… 😀 So tired of ppl issuing mandates to women for no reason! 😀

    My second ever publication came out yesterday, and I am thrilled! This one is especially personally meaningful to me bc it’s in the JOLE issue in honor of my advisor, Alan Krueger.
