My friend Tori is smart as a whip, and though she is endearingly, outwardly untidy, her ability to organize her thoughts, speak dynamically in front of a room of people, and remember facts and decisions is spot on. This was painted when she is was a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, but since then she’s gotten her black belt. She’s also a leader and teacher at her local jiu-jitsu academy, and she organizes and teaches self-defense workshops to women in the community. None of this is even her job – where she leads a large team of people who facilitate the communication of cutting-edge scientific research that helps save lives around the world.
