After attending the Fellow Interview with Mike Fontaine and Scott Miller, I realized how much you can learn about a person in a short 60 minute conversation. Both fellows were very open with us, and shared different aspects of their life story. I really enjoyed being able to learn more about their experiences and how that has shaped who they have become. Professor Fontaine, for example, has studied the classics, and told a story about his experiences publishing his new book “How to Drink” during the Covid pandemic. I found this very neat, as I remember hearing about one of the promotional events he was going to be having for his new book last year just before we closed due to the pandemic. It is amazing how much our world has changed since then, and hearing about his process of trying to promote his book when many events he had planned were cancelled was inspirational. Similarly, Scott Miller shared his experiences of being a judge without a courtroom, as the trials he runs are now via zoom. I had never thought about this before, but the personal impact that being in the same room has on many conversations is really important, especially in a trial setting. Learning about both of their experiences and how they’ve adapted during the pandemic inspires me that we all must be open to change and be able to make the best of any situation.
