About

My name is Joshua Born. I am a professional survey statistician and amateur social scientist.

This blog is an outlet for me to explore my own interests in my personal time, including research interests. Most of my research interests pertain to what I have termed "reproductive responsibility," which focuses on the study of contraception and occasionally touches on related topics.
