And I thought, "Well, what's the struggle?"

and I'm going to call you a researcher, I think,

but I'm afraid if I call you a researcher, no one will come,

because they'll think you're boring and irrelevant."

And she said, "But the thing I liked about your talk

So I think what I'll do is just call you a storyteller."

And of course, the academic, insecure part of me
