Entryism to get people asking about GIS, of course.
Oh hell yes. :) He just came out with a new one about Rivers too. His outlook, well that's the thing we joke about having any type of anthropology in your background, it's like having secret power levels. Perspective is everything, especially in geographical contexts.
Oh man, do I have some books for you. I haven't forgotten about you. I defend my thesis next week so my brain is crazy rn, but I have your message pinned. In the meantime, find Seeing Like A State by James Scott. Then if you Iike that one, check out his other one called Against the Grain. One of my besties does the biochem side of things and I am the mapper, computer person.

I'm the immigrant lmao.
It's self depreciating lol. I'm on a visa too.
If geography is a way to bridge the natural and social sciences, a GIS is basically a tool for combining unlike, often large scale datasets that are hard to compare otherwise. A GIS allows people to see where things occur in time and space and analyse those relationships.

I unironically wanted to do chemistry or biology back in the day, but couldn't make the grades in maths and had trouble with the calculations. Hell, even I took Stats 101 3x in college... but any time I used it in hands on applied science I was a wizard... Then, after 30 I realised I had dyscalculia. 🤦♀️ You have talents to contribute, but the hard part is figuring out where you belong. That kind of thing takes a little luck, though, not merit.
