Another, Constantly

Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word 'inclusion.' And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It's not men, it's not women alone.

Lifetime, Other, Geology

Why, See, Allowed

Book, My Life, Waste Time

I don't actually have a one wellspring of inspiration. Though I'm most often inspired while reading - both fiction and nonfiction.

Other, Fiction, Scientific

Reach, I Write, Scientific

I Remember, Remember When
