Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: I feel like it is difficult to switch over from scientific writing to more humanitarian type writing... I think just the language is a lot different. For scientific writing, you're writing spot on so that people don't get confused. So that they can repeat whatever you're doing exactly the way you're doing it. For humanitarian writing you use more vibrant language, you use more metaphors.
