I am a huge fan of Umberto Eco's works. Not only was he a talented fiction writer, but he was also a distinguished academic and scholar. His book *How to Write a Thesis* was a huge help in writing my dissertation and learning how to be a researcher. I cannot recommend it enough!

It's been two months since I started my position as a postdoc and phonetics lab director at the University of Washington. So far, it has been amazing, and I love the fantastic team of faculty and students I get to work with in the linguistics department.
