My life at DRW: Resident seer of seers
Groundhog Day is a popular observance in the United States that is meant to predict the weather. Punxsutawney Phil appears on February 2 every year, and if he is frightened by his own shadow than it signals that people can expect 6 more weeks of winter. If Phil doesn’t see his shadow, spring is on the way. While the Groundhog Day tradition isn’t scientific, current day meteorology is a highly-quantitative field where accuracy is critical.

What we learned about applying sports journalism to risk taking
Jason Benetti is a compelling figure in sports media for two key reasons: he’s risen through the ranks to become the television announcer for his hometown team, the Chicago White Sox, and he has cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that affects muscle coordination, movement and balance. At a recent event in DRW’s Chicago office, Jason shared how living outside of his comfort zone has propelled him to think differently and be more successful.

My experience at Grace Hopper
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is the world’s largest gathering of women technologists. This year, the DRW team was there, and we came back energized by meeting so many talented women.

What we learned about the science of competition and risk taking
Many of us can relate to the weight of questioning what we should do with our lives. Po Bronson, who for years had been working as a bond salesman, found one day that he wanted to explore another path and endeavored to write a book based on that very question. The result has been years of study into passion, risk taking and resilience.

#DRWat25: Jenis
I’ve had many days at DRW – I’ve been here for over 15 years – and no two days are the same. I remember how uncomfortable I felt on my first day. I had a lot ahead of me – not only learning how to trade, but also navigating my first professional experience out of college. It was daunting, but I figured my only choice was to give it my all.
