Nancy Davis, David Van Ness, and Emily Glossbrenner, the unequalled team of colleagues who put the polish on this and every other book I write; Rick Aguirre for helping out with screenshots on some fat chapters early on; Liz Welch for her great catches amid my thickets of text; and Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel for making this life of working anywhere possible. Thanks also to the fellows, family, and staff associated with the Knight Science Journalism Fellowships at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They created our instant community away from home in Cambridge. It was a privilege to share with them a year of learningnot to mention rides on the T, brews at The Field, lobster at Woods Hole, and one very soggy trek around Costa Rica's Volcán Arenal. In the final stretch, tunes by Cambridge's own Tom Thumb and the Latter Day Saints and radio broadcasts of the Red Sox pulled me through. |
