damigella There's nothing whatsoever I can add to this. Except that Emmy Noether is one of my personal heroes.

Do you have a job?
No, I was only an artist and paid for it editing medical stuff. Only that ran out too.

Anyway, I'm a professor of mathematics in an Italian university. The pay is low but the job security is comforting. And I get to teach about Emmy Noether's work every year, which is amazing.
I'm awed by artists, of any kind. Arts usually require the use of one's hands, and I'm the clumsiest person ever.
