Episode notes

i would say, tap into communities within the profession. Some that i can name right off the top of my head are saty collective and research and color foundation. Being around other black students and having black professors is something that will change your life. The only thing that i despise more than anything is raising money. I grew up in the mid west, and the idea that you would ever ask anybody for anything and help is really foreign. And almost the whole reason i went into academics is that i didn't want to have to,. ou know, have clients and cowtow to people and pretend i like people when i don't like people.

Part 2 is here! Gamestop, #stonks, Universal Basic Income, how to incentivize things that are good for us, whether or not kids should have an allowance, Trekonomics and more. Economist, professor and “Freakonomics” co-author Steven Levitt joins to chat about everything from being cheap and what decision making costs our minds to the worth of the Amazon rainforest. Rising economics star and Harvard Fellow Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman graces us with her thoughts on the subreddit WallStreetBets, how we measure the health of the economy, dealing with bullies, and Gossip Girl.
