This section of my website aims to highlight interesting research that inspires me/my research, as well as scholars who are underrepresented in the sciences. I invite others to share in this tradition and pay tribute to select authors who have inspired us (note: copyright does not belong to me).
I also want to acknowledge that this list is far from exhaustive or representative of all the amazing work out there.
