About 9 years ago my son was born. On our first day home and his third day of life he spiked a high fever and we rushed him back to the hospital. After days of waiting for tests (including a spinal tap) we learned that he had bacterial meningitis.

🥳🥹 Almost nine (!!) years after the first pilot, this paper with @ProfKarpo, @steveoconnell1 & @jrpjrpjrp is accepted @JPolEcon! It's been one of my favorite and most impactful projects, so including a short 🧵 below. Full paper here: tinyurl.com/bzhzmvj3
