I am also interested in other areas of applied micro — I currently have work in the areas of both family and environmental economics.

Reading: really enjoyed Grace Blakeley's Vulture Capitalism, which made me realise I never got through Naomi Klein's Shock Doctorine. Similar vibes.
Riding: right now a Ribble one-two: r872 for the hills and hybrid AL for commuting. The hybrid is way more fun to ride than it looks.
Doing: trying to do enough gardening to justify my niwaki gear
Cooking: still loving Madhur Jaffrey
Listening to [music-wise]: the new Four Tet -- three
Listening to [podcast-wise]: can't get enough of Rick Rubin's tetragrammaton podcast right now. Super eclectic, quite long, totally amazing.
