    “I SUPPOSE you’ll manage.”Chubby Sr. García, the regional military liaison with far too much dust in his cuffs, broke into a smile that marked him a persistent optimist.

    TRANSCRIPT OF THE AUDIO ESSAY (listen if you can, don’t read, this is for reference)Ian M. Cook: Yesterday I took a break from my morning doom scrolling through anger, pain, fear, and aggression to check my H-Index.I checked the number of times my publications had been cited by other authors. I didn’t do this to cheer myself up. It’s almost as depressing as doom scrolling.I checked my H-index because I needed to create a metricised, accountable, legible version of myself for a grant application.
