  Thanks Vasco! Please feel free to post your entire response in the comment section on Substack, as this is where most of our readers are. I will write more on the Welfare Ranges project later, but I will say that I am quite skeptical of neural counts as a proxy for welfare ranges.

  Dear Habeeb,

  Undergraduates at the University of Reading are welcome to get involved with the lab, but this would happen on a project basis, with positions advertised when they are available. Currently there are no such positions.

  Warmly,

  Walter
