Awesome. I work in the support team at @RoamResearch. Previous 7 years I spent doing PhD on recombination/exaptation. Not sure value of that until I saw Roam last year and from research I knew instantly Roam was very important. Thread on how I joined

After I signed up last year. I couldn't sleep thinking about how it's going to change things- education, wikipedia, how future generations will learn about today and interact with your ideas. How you can have a 100 year conversation with your family. Just getting started.

Next day I wrote to Roam support asking to join. Didn't hear back. Just kept learning Roam.

In May this year Victoria put a call out to public #roamcult slack for support help. I wrote in again straight away, sent in a Roam graph.

No bllshit pdf cover letter or linkedin, didn't care about qualifications. Victoria just asked questions about belief in Roam, deep questions on familiarity with Roam, about grit. Shocked me but she also knew my original ticket, had backlinks I had sent in to @Conaw previously.

She didn't care I had a 4 week old baby, said I'm free to work times that suited me. @Conaw asked me about exaptation and @stevenbjohnson's Where good ideas come from.

Since joining it's felt every bit as important as I thought it would. Radical growth for me on things like shipping speed, decision making and watching awesome team like @MamanLunettes @thepericulum @MarksBrainwaves master new things so quick

Feel vry privileged to be a small part in the most important team and company on earth.
