Abstract
This essay offers the author’s reflections on the role and impact that her AECT network and culture have exerted on each of the three distinct phases of her professional development: “I have come to appreciate that my best projects came together because of the people encountered along the way who shared common goals and were willing to be convened on short notice and could be counted on to go above and beyond.”

Notes
- 1.
The premise of Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction series: mathematician Hari Seldon spent his life developing a branch of mathematics known as psychohistory, a concept of mathematical sociology. Using the laws of mass action, it can predict the future, but only on a large scale. Seldon creates a foundation of talented artisans and engineers at the extreme end of the galaxy, to preserve and expand on humanity’s collective knowledge, and thus become the foundation for a new galactic empire. I’m not even going to mention the eerie foreshadowing of my interests in big data.
