I dunno what a PI is, but my honours thesis supervisor was the person who first introduced me to TeX. And gods, I wish I had known about it earlier in uni, or even back in high school. It is so useful when writing any sort of papers with sections and diagrams and bibliography.

Principal Investigator. It's the lead scientist in charge of the project.

Check out Typst (a newer TeX-like layout engine) if you have time, I'm interested in your opinion. I find it a bit simpler to use than TeX.

Un(?)fortunately I don't have much cause these days for either TeX or some equivalent to it. Anything I'm writing today is simple enough that it doesn't need anything more sophisticated than markdown for formatting.
