I’m trying so hard to not revert to my southern over-explaining in emails, and instead embrace the NYC “say what you mean and don’t worry about how people take it” voice. And every email I send feels like a demand, but I’m getting there. Ugh.

Teaching today about Jessica Hernandez’s book Fresh Banana Leaves, and I said: science is the organization of information. It is not natural or pre-ordained, but the way a particular culture organizes how it experiences the world. And I’m not mad at that definition.
