I realize the grammar mistake in the first tweet only after I write all of this. Well, checks out.

With real world problems in my mind and cool economics tools I am about to gain on my hand, let’s go do meaningful research!

Though I had to do it here, I hate dropping the names of fancy institutions I had the chance to be a part of because they tell nothing about me as a person and my experiences from growing up in one of Istanbul’s slums.

It took a village to get here. I couldn’t do it without my extremely supportive advisors in @WellesleyEcon, my academic-rockstar boss(es) and predoc community at @MITEcon, friends, family, and of course the current state of the world which gets me up every morning.

Not sure to whether Rory Gilmore or @pinarandmore was more influential in this decision but, this fall, I’ll be starting my PhD in Economics at @YaleEconomics!

Our paper, "Syrian Refugee Inflows, Health-Care Access, and Childhood Vaccination in Turkey," just came out at World Bank Economic Review w/ @pinarandmore, Miray Omurtak & @IlhanCanOzen Short 🧵on findings... 1/

My two cents FWIW: Having a field called "development economics" makes no sense. It is essentially all fields of economics related to the 84% of people in the world who don't live in high-income countries. It is good to see it gradually absorbed into the other fields of econ.

Brahms Boy olarak da bilinen Vincent Paul Billington henüz altı yaşındayken alınmış bir kayıt. Beyni müthiş bir algılama gücüne sahip ve şaşırtıcı bir hızla klasik müzik bestecilerini tanıyor. Günümüzde ne mi yapıyor, ben de merak edip araştırdım, mimar olmuş. @vincentpb 👏🏻
