Before Emily Oster became a go-to parenting expert, she was an econ professor waiting on a tenure decision at the University of Chicago. While waiting, she published Expecting Better, a book that moms-to-be consider to be a parenting Bible. She got rejected for tenure, then spent over a decade believing the book was a “professional mistake”. Parents everywhere beg to differ. Listen as Emily shares how she moved past the disappointment  – and why it actually turned out to be the best thing for her career. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Emily shares: <ul>
<li>Her weekly mileage as a marathoner (our legs are shaking)</li>
<li>Why she refers to herself as a “vagina economist” </li>
<li>How her kids react when she tells them she’s a “parenting expert” </li>
<li>Why she doesn’t shy away from disagreements around her research </li>
<li>Who’ll benefit most from <a href="https://parentdata.org/">ParentData’s</a> newest vertical </li>
