I've had a remarkable bout of productivity in writing my dissertation defense in the last 3 days- at last count, I've written 30 new pages about the pre-Conquesr historical context of Mayan numbers, modern Guatemalan educational policy, and of course, the neuroscience behind visual perception of symbolic numbers.

I'm putting "Guest Speaker: The Human Brain" on my calendar a few more times in the upcoming weeks. I love this weird side gig- it turns out people love my neuroscience outreach work, which will never not boggle me.
