Pre-ordered!.🍾🎉.
Y’all, I wrote a book!. The Science of Second Chances is based on my decades of work studying crime and criminal behavior, first as an economics professor and now as a policy expert at Arnold Ventures. It shares what we know from cutting-edge research about how to intervene at.

I gave a keynote address today at the AEA CTREE conference and I used my hands A LOT!. (My husband was in the audience for the first time ever, and took photographic evidence of my insane use of Italian hands!🤷♀️)

The one good news of the week is that @EconCath & I were together in Lancaster as our paper “Gender Differences in the Choice of Major: The Importance of Female Role Models” (AEJ: Applied, 2020) reached 600 citations while we work on the follow-up study🎊.

In other news…. It looks like I won my basketball brackets, which is ridiculous because I know nothing about basketball and my husband invited me to join “just for fun” 😂
