Christopher Pinheiro
Christopher Pinheiro is a graduate of UMass Amherst and an economist for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. His 38th Voyagers’ project will culminate in the production of infographics to “investigate historical/current dollar values of whale derived products and modern replacements of those products through the economic principle of substitution.” Pinheiro’s notion that infographics catch the eye more easily than text alone while conveying important information will be valuable in posting to economic blogs and elsewhere. Pinheiro has also spent time aboard the Liberty Clipper, a 125-foot schooner, and shared some of his experience with other 38th Voyagers.
