At the risk of exposing how big of a nerd I am, I was so pumped to have met THE @ChrisPerkinsDnD on my flight today! Big thanks for the photo, will always love that 4e adventure with the robot chicken crew.

I’ll be using TCwD this coming fall in my econometrics class for business students. I absolutely adore the book.
For those of you starting to think about your classes for next year, your occasional reminder that two of my books--Thinking Clearly with Data and Political Economy for Public Policy--have extensive teaching materials freely available online. 1/5.
