In Defense of the "Mad Scientist" Odd Behaviors and Strange Experiments - a Farpoint Convention piece

I gave a talk at #Farpoint this year, & while it is fun to defend the "Mad Scientist", we can learn a lot from them. Not just about the world, but how to be better human beings

We need our mad scientists. So with that, here is my defence of them & their work. plasmanerd.substack.com/p/in-defense...

Rod Roddenberry told Jess Bush that his mother would be proud of what she has done with her character.

Jess Bush says her two favorite SNW episodes for Christine Chapel are still coming up, one in season 4 and one in season 5 which are "deeply moving."

Early sections of my Farpoint shawl: the gray point that echoes the Starfleet delta, dark gray rows & science-blue with stars worked in. Above the blue is a black band all ready for rank pips-it will have 3, for Lt. Commander Beverly Crusher. 💙

My #Farpoint shawl is coming along! I've already leveled up since Sat & now I'm on the row with the pips, so it's time to learn bobbles!

I'll be wearing this at #STLV next summer in my photo with Gates McFadden 😻😻😻
Loving this pattern & the yarns!
