I joined because I was invited by a friend who strongly recommended I join. I am honestly too swamped with my academic work to be connected to what is going on. Catalyst is too big for me. I wish I could find my academic voice and purpose in it, but I fear that if I raise my hand I'll be roped in at a level that is not healthy for me at the moment.
