“The writing that I’m most proud of was the same writing I struggled with most. It is a story for Notices of the American Mathematical Society about the research I’ve done, why I find problems in biology to be interesting to mathematicians, and how I learned to work with interdisciplinary collaborators. It was very daunting — there’s so much vulnerability in telling your story. What really helped was participating in the spring 2022 faculty writing retreat. It was great to be part of a writing community — to come together, set goals, learn some strategies. But mostly it was great just having people there and establishing that this is what we’re doing for the day. Writing doesn’t have to be miserable!”
