No, but they are very different. Of course, I've been a scientist for almost three decades, so I'm more familiar with being a scientist. But the creative writing journey, I loved every minute of it.

He's a very revered higher education leader. He was Stanford's provost for 17 years. And he is co-director with me at Stanford Human Center Institute. So I was really proud I wrote this first draft. I showed it to him. It was during COVID. After like two weeks, he called me. He said, Feifei, you and Alex should come to my backyard. That's how we meet because we were social distancing.
