That's going to be I can
00:00:04
super casual. Hi. Uh my name is G
00:00:06
Smittzky. I am assistant professor at
00:00:09
the OID group. Originally, I'm from
00:00:11
Israel. Just completed my PhD at UC San
00:00:14
Diego before moving to Philadelphia. I
00:00:16
study judgment and decision-m. More
00:00:17
specifically, I'm interested in
00:00:19
understanding how [music]
00:00:20
time and money, two resources we use
00:00:22
every day, are valued in systematically
00:00:25
different ways. So I noticed in myself
00:00:27
and others that we think about money in
00:00:30
fairly consistent ways, but it's not the
00:00:32
case with [music] time. So for instance,
00:00:34
if I would ask you how much one hour of
00:00:36
your time is worth, the obvious answer
00:00:37
would be, well, it [music] depends. I'm
00:00:39
mostly excited about joining such a
00:00:42
vibrant, dynamic research environment to
00:00:44
learn from my colleagues, to collaborate
00:00:46
on new projects, and to [music] bring my
00:00:48
own perspective into the mix.
