Nora Novak knows cuttlefish. Actually, Nora knows a lot of species. She can name every shark, whale, eel, and Ohioian turtle (among others). She's not as committed with humans. But she's only been in her lab for a little over a decade. How much could she have missed? As she's wrapping up her postdoc, Nora's carefully-balanced ecosystem is in crisis. Her maze-navigating cuttlefish are retiring. Polyester shorts are no longer "in." Somewhere along the line, she forgot to learn how to date. So Nora does what any self-actualizing biologist in her early thirties would. Nora Novak embraces the #FOMO.
