@DoctoraMAK @debapriya__s Thank you for the kind words, Mira! And your guidance on edits. What a wonderful new team you all make there.

@debapriya__s @ACMRSPress Your thoughtful answers struck me again this morning, Debapriya. Wish we had room for 20 more Qs!

[Whitney Sperrazza @WSperrazza]

This was such a fabulous & fun conversation! Let it entice you to read @debapriya__s excellent book if you haven't already. Most grateful to the @ACMRSPress team for making it happen.
