CarbonfreeDC
For those in the DC area, I'm giving a talk to the CarbonfreeDC group at Timberlakes in Dupont today, Wednesday April 29. All are welcome. Here are the slides I'll be presenting during the discussion.
I am a consultant with the World Bank in DC and a recent PhD graduate of economics at the University of California, Irvine. My research is on conflict and post-conflict development, and the economic impact of the environment and environmental change. I am currently working on a randomized impact evaluation for the World Bank in the post-conflict area of northern Uganda.

>> One of Einstein's colleagues asked him for his telephone number one day. Einstein reached for a telephone directory and looked it up. "You don't remember your own number?" the man asked, startled.
"No," Einstein answered. "Why should I memorize something I can so easily get from a book?"
