About this page

I think of social science as a useful lens for viewing life. Here, I will share things that I think are serious and thoughtful along with short observations of things that I find amusing.

I’m viewing Substack as an experiment and as I learn more about the best way to use this platform, I’ll adjust my approach.

I am a social scientist and do research in behavioral economics and try to describe it in plain language. These findings have enriched my life, and my hope is that they will do the same for you.
