"And I was wondering what it was about him that you really, I guess, connected with that you would have an emphasis in your Ph.D. again, I was just curious if it was his writing style, the communities he wrote about or the nature. And another thing is, what do you think, Woodsworth, how do you think he would arrive about nature today? So it's a pleasure talking to you. Thank you very much for this opportunity. Thank you."

I see that you were the first Deia manager at the Daily Orange, which is amazing. I really want to know what inspired you to take on that role in the first place, and how did you define success in that role since you were the first one? Looking forward to hearing your response."
