Poorer children show cognitive fatigue faster than richer ones, and attend schools that give fewer chances to build attentional capacity. But this can be improved with simple changes at school--as we show in our Cognitive Endurance paper. Summary below! @christinalbrown @h_schof

The average minimum wage worker would need to work a staggering 79 hours a week to afford a one-bedroom rental in 95 percent of U.S. counties...in the richest country on Earth. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

Congratulations Christina on a well-deserved amazing end to the job market! Eat lots of ice cream and recover from the ptsd.
Christina Brown@christinalbrown

My advisors @supKaur, Chris Walters and @tedmiguel gave me the freedom (and support) to work on my JMP which during my 3rd year prospectus was deemed "too risky" by other faculty. I am so thankful for their guidance and trust.
