S1E11 - Transitioning from Private to Academia with Benjamin Hansen

In this episode we talk with Benjamin Hansen. Ben is the WE Miner Professor of Economics at the University of Oregon. He is an applied-micro economist whose research focuses on crime, health, and other topics in labor and public economics. We talk with Ben about this transition from the private-consulting sector to academia. Sebastian Tello-Trillo is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Economics at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy in the University of Virginia. @dsebastiantello Alex Hollingsworth is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs in Indiana University. @ajhollingsworth  Notes:  Ben recommends watch "unidentified" and learn the truth about unidentified objects in the world. Alex recommends to check the app Zwift - an app for cyclers! Sebastian recommends to schedule "calls" with friends and family. It may feel weird to put your loved ones in your schedule as a task, but it's a great way of getting it done!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hidden-curriculum/message
