I'm happy to announce that I'll be taking on a more formal role at NYU's Research Alliance for New York City Schools as a Senior Technical Advisor. I have collaborated with the Research Alliance on a number of projects over the years, and am excited to take this next step.

My colleagues and I had a letter to the New York Times published.  While the high school admissions process in NYC is complex--with room for reform--our ongoing work suggests that carefully-designed and targeted information can make the process easier. 

Chalkbeat covered our work on the gender gap in charter schools - a study that has been around longer than I care to admit - but still relevant (and forthcoming)!  

Do public transportation systems help or hinder school choice? Our team contributed to this new report from the Urban Institute on Student Transportation and Educational Access.

I have a new descriptive study on the geographic variation of obesity among NYC school children (with Brian Elbel and Amy Ellen Schwartz) in PLoS-ONE. You can find the article here!
