Purple Haze[edit]

MIT Sociologist, Sherry Turkle, has a new book entitled Falling for Science: Objects in Mind comprising a collection of stories from individuals who chose careers in science. Each story tells of a seminal event in the life of the writer that turned them on to a lifelong love of science. Among the stories in Turkle's book is one contributed by Rosalind Picard. It's a brief essay in which Picard describes significant episodes in her youth when she found opportunities to pursue her interest in science. Here is one passage, from Sixth Grade:

“

Then in sixth grade, I led the science class debate team, arguing for Evolution against a team who argued for Creation. I showed an image with a sequence of monkeys turning into men, and everybody knew that Evolution was the only scientific argument there was. After the debate, the class voted to see who "won." I knew we would win because we were the only ones who used any scientific arguments, or so I thought. But we lost. The class voted for the Creationists, led by a cute popular girl with pigtails who played the guitar, had a great tan, and had a house with a pool. She spoke passionately about things that I didn't even want to hear. I couldn't believe it. I really had my nose out of joint after that, but maybe that was when I began to think people should know more science. —Rosalind Picard, "Purple Haze", p. 229 in Falling for Science: Objects in Mind, edited by Sherry Turkle, MIT Press, 2008.

This quote should be on Dr. Picard's Wikiquote page, at the very least. It might be hard to put such a long one into this article and a summary would not really have the same impact. 99.55.169.2 (talk) 15:58, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
