And, additionally, was a host on the YouTube series PBS Infinite Series, shortly before it was cancelled.
I'm still sad that it was cancelled. She's a great presenter and I was really excited about the series they were planning on category theory.
She has written introductory blog posts on CT as well: https://www.math3ma.com/blog/what-is-category-theory-anyway
The way this book is so wonderfully illustrated and written is why we need more women in math/tech. I haven't read any paper/book on abstract math/category theory that wasn't extremely dry and boring
