It's hard to describe what it means to me to see my 1st paper officially published. Even when it was accepted I couldn't quite believe it was real until the ink dried (digitally). This work has been such a wild ride, and I have had to fight every step of the way of this project.
At my qualifying exam I was told that the idea was fake and that I needed to immediately drop the project. But I persisted and continued finding interesting results. A lot got left on the cutting room floor, but the annals of miscellanea and errata is not a journal as of rn 
I was told by superiors that the work was boring and not worth spending time on--the reviewers disagreed! I've been criticized over and over again my entire PhD, and it is humbling to have my work published---let alone in a broad journal!
The work isn't perfect, as nothing is. There is a lot more I wish I could've done, but you have to tie up the publishable unit somewhere. I'm just grateful that my work exists in the body of human knowledge, and hope that others can build on it :D
For fun, here is the TOC we *wanted* to publish. Maybe a little less professional, but I love it and hope y'all can enjoy it too
And it's important for me to say that I'm building on a lot of important work from many groups, which I did my best to cite liberally (hence... Long ref list) so that they can be acknowledged. Not all of it got the recognition it deserved.
