Last spring, one week after MIT went into lockdown, Prof. Anne McCants sat down at her kitchen table and wondered how to maintain a sense of community among the students of the Concourse program, an intellectual community at MIT that integrates the humanities and the sciences in order to pursue fundamental human questions. She began to write the first of what would become “Notes from the Director’s Kitchen,” a series of biweekly musings on gardening, being a neighbor, patience in the midst of loss, scholarship during a time of pandemic, unexpected gifts, faith, and family.
