Woo! Glad to hear that this worked out!
I’m super excited to finally announce that I’ll be heading to Purdue this Fall as a postdoc. I’ll be there to contribute to their Cog Sci/AI domination 🧠 🤖 I’m super sad to leave WashU, but some of the best people are at Purdue and I can’t think of a better place to go next!
Whenever I’m applying for a job I always keep ten coins in my pocket just in case.

Academics in Jan: So happy to have sent off those papers before classes started!
Those same academics later in Jan: How am I getting so many referee requests! It’s only January!
