"It's been over 20 years since my residency.  There has been plenty of time for its impact to manifest in my life and work.  My response to the Everglades has been profound and enduring.  The subject matter of my work shifted, and I began working with a new methodology focused on fieldwork, supplemented with research, and attuned to personal experience.  Science became integral to my work and dependent upon it.  This had not previously been the case."
