I am not an expert in anything, but I am working on it. When I try to focus on studying one discipline consistently for a period of time, I get distracted (and excited!) when I notice patterns that could inform other disciplines. While it is distracting, the patterns are able to help me digest new concepts faster. I have noticed this connection-making inspires heaps of my creativity.

Explaining computer science to otherwise non-technical philosophy grads is not only easy; it is what I would call a 'downhill process'. This probably depends on them being decent philosophy students, of course.
