Today on our show, we bring you a story by <a href="https://andreaaskowitz.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Andrea Askowitz</a> called A Numbers Game. This story was previously published in <a href="https://memoirland.substack.com/p/a-numbers-game" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Memoirland</a>, a curated compilation of the week’s best personal essays on the internet. It was also read live on stage at the Flagstaff Festival of Science in 2024. A Numbers Game is a braided essay. So, In this episode, we will discuss the braided essay and how Andrea’s came to be. Just a hint: <a href="https://nikwalk.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nicole Walker</a> had something to do with it!More about how we became associated with the Flagstaff Festival of Science…Three years ago, we were hired by <a href="https://ecoss.nau.edu/team/jane-marks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Jane Marks</a> and <a href="https://ecoss.nau.edu/authors/bruce-a-hungate/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Bruce Hungate</a>, two famous ecologists from the <a href="https://ecoss.nau.edu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Center for Ecosystem Science and Society (ECOSS) at Northern Arizona University</a>. They heard our podcast and then started taking our classes which led to the idea that their students would benefit from taking our classes. So we’ve been doing online workshops and in-person workshops to help these scientists personalize their stories. This story was written during our second year collaborating with ECOSS. &nbsp;If you're looking for a writing coach to help your student with college application essays, contact <a href="https://www.allisonlanger.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Allison Langer.</a>Writing Class Radio is hosted by <a href="http://www.allisonlanger.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Allison Langer</a> and <a href="https://andreaaskowitz.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Andrea Askowitz</a>.
