At university, I also met Alice. We've just celebrated our 21st anniversary. In 2013, we took our two-month-old baby to West Java's sprawling capital, Bandung, where I ran a study tracing contacts of tuberculosis cases through the traffic jams and shanty towns. Alice and I had no idea what it would be like to be two women raising a baby in a conservative Muslim community—as it turned out, people mostly focused on the baby. Parenting is humbling and a daily reminder that I might not be as interesting as I imagine. Alice, I remember the grace with which you dealt with a new baby, a new language, and, yes, the new experience of sharing our home with bats at one point. I am so grateful for your love and support in everything we've done.
