Hi all!
I also read "A Wrinkle in Time" as a child, and loved it. I'm not sure what
influence it had on my decision to become a scientist, but it certainly
portrayed scientists as loving, caring, spiritual human beings, which
certainly didn't hurt! I think scientists get a bad rap in fiction in
general. Most popular books and movies depicting scientists cast them as
megalomaniacal world-destroyers, or at best, frizzy-haired dotty forget-
their-ass-if-not-attached people who build time machines out of Deloreans.
Go figure.
