When she was a kid, maybe 11 or 12, her parents, who were not scientists, tried to encourage her interest in science by getting her a subscription to Scientific American. Though most of the content was pretty hard for a pre-teen, she loved solving the magazine's puzzles and brain teasers. Those puzzles were her "gateway drug" to a physics Ph.D and of course, her experiences as the first U.S. woman in space.Sue Macyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672431122375467343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537197995327351093.post-20609569118569657582013-03-01T15:23:13.432-08:002013-03-01T15:23:13.432-08:00Thanks for sharing this very moving personal story...Thanks for sharing this very moving personal story about the power of books.

Now she speaks fluent Mandarin, has lived in China and plans to return. Sometimes you just have to let them go for something.<br />And best of luck to your daughter.

If it had been on the shelf, not likely that a 4 year old would have found it. Something about her own discovery of it began the magic connecion. Love this story. Congrats & best science career wishes to your gal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
