This is a wonderfully clear explanation of strategies for giving that can save on taxes. Thank you! I especially appreciated the real life examples, which made the math easy to follow!
How fantastic that met Bill Kurtis you were able to follow the dream meeting him inspired! Yes, I agree that we are lucky and privileged to have followed our passions. I'd pick this path again in a heartbeat!
I haven't set a retirement date yet - I thought it was going to be 2024, but I've put it off for a year or two. What you say about having "the freedom to explore the world and reflect more deeply" is something I'm craving, and is hard to find time for during the academic year.
What a great list! While he wasn't a biologist, I'd add Carl Sagan. Such a great communicator of science to non-scientists. I remember watching Cosmos as a child and being absolutely mesmerized.
Well, it won't be a project in the sense that I'm not thinking about it as something onerous that has to 'get done'. But I do love mulling the possibilities!

Thank you for this thoughtful post. I love the idea of increasing charitable contributions to organizations that have lost funding.
