> Any good drinking stories?
There was a small grad student drinking game of professors at the meeting you would sleep with. It was different from the usual target of objectification. After many drinks, it got funny. As a women, I also learned something that was interesting to me. Gay guys in our group have better taste than most straight women.

so who's the next methods star to come out of this conference?
According to his website, the King student who gave the plenary is a second year.
Having an out of date website doesn't make you a star.He is a second year. But he hasn't accomplished enough to be a star yet, although he may well be.

LoL at the LRMs no gooding this post. Until recently, Poli Sci empirical work was such crap that I would prefer to read political theory, and I am not a theorist. Finally, some small part of it is decent and LRMs are all outraged.

1. causal inference
2. measuring stuff
3. fancy modelsAnd part 3 can be considered a part of the first 2 parts. so 1/3 on causal inference is about right, and maybe even a little bit low.
