I wrote a novel about gametes. I showed it to a literary agent, who just shrugged and said, “Sure, sex cells, but who’s buying?”

Had the camera going a lot at The Liturgical Arts Academy; I edited together a little thing about the paths folks had taken in Orthodox music ministry & their thoughts on how people might get started in it. Thanks to Chris Kouldukis, Laura Bushelli, & Megan Barrett! Enjoy!

YEP. Exactly this. From the mid 1960s-80s, there were 3-4 Guggenheim Fellows named from IU *every* year. Until ~2005, there was usually at least one/year. But since the Great Recession, all the non-applied Arts & Sciences have been cut, while Business School (w mainly NTT instructors) has grown.
