Isaiah Andrews is a Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
On March 19, Professor Andrews presented his paper “Communicating Scientific Uncertainty via Approximate Posteriors.”
The Uwe Reinhardt Distinguished Lectureship was created through a gift from Gilchrist B. Berg (’73) in honor of Uwe E. Reinhardt, Princeton’s James Madison Professor of Political Economy, Economics, and Public Affairs.
Reinhardt, who was a member of Princeton’s faculty for nearly 50 years, was one of the nation’s leading economists, with particular expertise in the American health care system. His advice was frequently sought by policymakers, journalists, and health-related organizations here and abroad, as well as by Congress. He was known as a charismatic and generous teacher with an incisive wit and a warm, irreverent personality that endeared him to generations of students and colleagues.
