Hi, I’m Ben.

I’m an economics PhD student at Stanford University. I’m interested in networks, experts, uncertainty, and metascience. I lived and worked in New Zealand before starting my PhD.

Outside of research I enjoy running and blogging. My favorite blog posts include:

• How central is Grand Central Terminal?
• Birds, voting, and Russian interference
• White elephant gift exchanges
• Rationalizing negative splits
• Truth-seekers and ideologues

I’ve also written about applying to economics PhD programs and living in the USA.
