Rebecca Goldstein is a research scientist living in the Bay Area with her partner Ariela Perlman, an educational therapist.

This is Rebecca's 18th puzzle for the Times, and Ariela's first. Ariela set Rebecca down the path of crossword constructing back in May of 2020, when she (strongly) suggested Rebecca find a hobby to fill her newly-found free time. This puzzle's theme was inspired by a surprise 40th birthday gift from Ariela.

Rebecca Goldstein is a research scientist living in Albany, Calif. Her co-constructor, Will Nediger, is a professional crossword constructor based in London, Ontario.

They connected over DMs, and after settling on this idea, went through countless iterations to achieve the cleanest fill. Both love Sunday themes like this one — Will likened it to "a charcuterie plate where there's a little bit of everything."

Rebecca Goldstein, of Albany, Calif., is a research scientist at Merck, developing immunotherapies for cancer. Rafael Musa, of San Francisco, is a software engineer at Airbnb. Each has been published individually in The Times, but this is their first collaboration.

As friends they see each other occasionally at Bay Area puzzle events and otherwise. They worked separately, though, through many different versions, to implement this crossword's ambitious theme.
