I’m excited to share my husband is taking a very cool job and I’m very proud of him!!! It’s back on the East Coast, so it will be interesting to see how we manage this. (The company’s announcement is still to come, hence the vague post.)
I’m out if practice, but with my son’s birthday coming up, it was time to bake. #poliscibakes

Another great #IPES conference. It’s always great to see old friends and meet new ones. It’s even better when you get to go running with them.
I ran the Berkeley Trail adventure half marathon today. I placed 10th overall and 2nd in my age group. I was a fun race and I’m really pleased with how I ran it and how my body performed.

Flyer for a webinar on Thursday, June 12th from 1-2pm eastern titled "Breaking into Education Consulting: Exploring Independent Career Paths." The overview says: curious about what it takes to build a career as an independent consultant? In this webinar, panelists will share practical advice for researchers considering this path. I'm moderating and there are 4 dope panelists. Co-hosted by AEP, NCME, APPAM, and SREE.
Been chatting with folks who've lost their jobs and several said it would be nice to learn about how to get into consulting work. So I said I could put something together on that! Webinar next Thursday at 1pm eastern. (Thanks AEFP, APPAM, NCME, & SREE!)
