Bumping into Redouan Bshary at a conference & remarking that his field site looked pretty nice & that I wouldn’t mind visiting. That sparked a fruitful & wonderful collaboration that helped secure me my RS fellowship which changed the trajectory of my career. And Red1 is also pretty great. 😊

What's the moment of luck that's had the biggest impact for your academic career? For me, it was how I wouldn't have gotten a PhD fellowship if it wasn't for the 1st-ranked person declining, which meant that I was awarded the fellowship as 2nd-ranked applicant. That was my last shot at a PhD.
