- @MatthewAKraft @BrownUniversity @AnnenbergInst @hgse @KathleenNLynch @DrJingLiu @OliviaLChi @J_HumanResource In addition to this excellent research, @OliviaLChi was a rock-star teaching fellow for my stats class, #s52stats. I remember her going to the whiteboard in a TF meeting and explaining parameter interpretations in a 2x2 design so clearly that I now teach it her way in my lectures
