Increasingly, I believe the only qualification you need for most things is that you’re doing it, care about it and stick at it. There doesn’t seem to be much more required.

Really happy to receive this lovely review of Big Ideas Little Pictures from Mark Frauenfelder on Boing Boing "Jono's superpower is the ability to break down complex concepts into digestible, visually appealing explanations. The topics range from practical (how to skip rocks) to philosophical (the Supporter's Paradox), and scientific (why we're taller in the morning) to strategic (how to win at Monopoly)." boingboing.net/2024/11/26/th…
