What is knowledge when it is unshared? What is experience without connection? 

In this autobiographical memoir, Hope Jahren traces her own path to becoming a renowned geobiologist through her own mental health struggles, funding fights, and sexism in the field. Her text showcases one woman’s efforts to find belonging within the scientific community while honoring her own attention to the oft-overlooked world of botany. 

This practice invites us to consider what it is to know something no one else knows and how to hold knowledge while looking for the avenues to share.
