Agent Scully and Doctor Who - and Poll Time!
Here's a "must read" article from the Chronicle of Higher Education (available to non-subscribers for five days): "Professors from the Working Class Credit Their Rise to Rock - and Agent Scully." Synopsis: Music, television, and comic-book characters, and other elements of popular culture, inspired faculty members to strive when they were young.
In other news, I'm thoroughly enjoying the latest Doctor Who. Which leads me to a question for my friends...
Poll Who is your favorite Doctor from Doctor Who? (You may choose more than one.)
"I'm the Doctor; I'm worse than everyone's aunt."
