About

Welcome to this space. 👋 Here, I share my personal thoughts on data science, economics, and why Carly Rae Jepsen is criminally underrated.

About me: My name is Simas, I hold a PhD in economics (a.k.a. the most inexact science of them all), and I’m currently a Research Manager at the Forecasting Research Institute. Anything I write here is my personal opinion, and it doesn’t represent the views of any current or past employer.

My most popular posts (which really aren’t that popular) include a meditation on the differences between academia and business, Cowen’s First Law, and a deep dive on whether capitalism makes you a lonely.

I hope these posts provide you with valuable insights and perspectives.

So read me maybe.
