  mentoring_philosophy: "The experimental social sciences laboratory is one of the most successful interdisciplinary clusters on campus, yet few majors or minors in economics or political science know about it. Graduating from FSU with a mentorship in XS/FS would be quite an external signal of intellectual curiosity. While most of my work is with Ph.D. students, I have had undergraduate students in my experimental economics class go on to graduate work including co-authoring with me (see Dr. Phil Solimine, an FSU undergraduate and graduate student as an example). Most economics major probably don't even realize that economics can be an experimental science, and I would like to change that. Even when I teach the topic in my undergraduate course on experimental economics, I teach it in an experience-based format. If you would like to consider an analogy that I like best, read up on the story of Prof. Richard Feynman and the bowling ball."

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: |-
    1 ) Following the pandemic, we (our research cluster, XS/FS) have noticed that traditional e-mail solicitations are falling short in our goals of getting undergraduate students to sign up through our ORSEE subject recruitment system. We would like to expand our outreach to include things like tabling on Wednesday, posting (legally) flyers, putting out and removing sandwich boards, and so forth.
    2 ) There is some possibility of doing "coding" --- not computer coding, but text coding --- of some experiments this term; we don't know how much of this will be able to be handled by AI.
    3 ) Having someone to proofread papers and check references would be very helpful.
    4 ) FSU IT has been talking for years about abandoning the "myweb" hosting system. If they do, I will need a great deal of help in transitioning to a new system. I need a GoogleSites page in principle, but in practice GoogleSites may not be ideal for transitioning the links and info on my site.

  skills_that_research_assistants_may_need_: |-
    REQUIRED: Because our research is controlled by the FSU Human Subjects Committee, we have very strict parameters about interacting with potential subjects. A UROP student would need to understand this and have excellent judgment, integrity, and character reflecting the international principles of human subjects protection. In fact, one of my first requirements would be that the students go through student CITI training for human subjects protection.
    RECOMMENDED: Being tech savvy as in a typical "stem"-oriented undergrad.
