* I believe that students deserve copious
feedback, so I provide this, and work closely with students to ensure that
their projects are specifically suited for their research program and also
useful to decision-makers (for whom students tailor their projects after
extensive contact, and to whom they submit these projects after receiving
feedback from me).
