 When I came back and I realized I wanted to go to graduate school, I kind of in the back of my mind knew that I wanted to do something with international trade and intellectual property rights. My name is Christine McDaniel. I'm a senior research fellow at the Mercata Center at George Mason University. So I think it was an undergrad that I realized I really wanted to do economics and Japanese studies. And then when I went to Japan as a foreign exchange student, I started to see how ideas turn to inventions. You know, that process can play out differently in different countries and sometimes the institutional features can affect how that plays out and the laws and policies and regulatory processes. And so when I came back and I realized I wanted to go to graduate school, I kind of in the back of my mind knew that I wanted to do something with international trade and intellectual property rights. And that's when I found Keith Mascas at the University of Colorado Boulder and the rest of history.
