I just think it would be more newsworthy and a more acceptable excuse for sending me an email about it if the Fields medal were awarded to not-mathematicians for once For example when will my achievements in estimating the exact size of leftover container needed for these leftovers be recognized

Claire Gilder1No one is there to celebrate when I eyeball the volume of leftover tomato sauce perfectly. But I know, and I hold those victories close to my heart.
