What does it mean to cultivate something that hundreds of people collectively decide is worth carrying into the future?
This month, I received tenure from Cornell University. The most common question I've been asked is "what will you do with it?"
This post, which I sketched before hearing the result, is my answer, in the form of a letter to the public who support my work and who I'm privileged to serve.
