An appreciation post for @nogatenzin : I only met Noga a little over a week ago from a LinkedIn post (lmao), and I had a feeling we were going to get along given our shared interests in content creation, but I didn’t expect to connect so well, and I’m excited to continue our friendship at Cornell.

6. We’re social animals. We need to be around people we care about and who care about us in return. That’s why I appreciated my time away at California with my SF Bay Area friends. And that’s why I’m excited to hang out with noga more.

8. But here’s what’s so special: we were talking about how she really enjoyed and was excited about my science communication content and that I should do it in person. Funny enough, it found a home online so soon.

9. Another thing we talked about was the interconnectedness of living things. It was fascinating seeing parallels of my views not wanting to kill bees and the Buddhist perspective of how life is valuable.
