My academic career to date, in two word clouds (covering 1974-1999 and 2000-2025)

 Here's a website that will make a word cloud based on your Google Scholar page: Scholar Goggler.

 I used it to create a kind of data-graphic of my career to date, by producing two word clouds from article titles on my Scholar page from 1974-1998 and from 1999-2025.  Those ranges have two properties: they are almost equally long, and so divide my career so far in half, and they also cover the period in which I mostly saw myself as a game-theorist and experimenter (studying bargaining, early in the period, and matching markets later), and the period in which I became something of a practical market designer drawing on those tools among others. (For context, my paper with Elliott Peranson on redesigning the medical residency match appeared in 1999*)
