A Scientist on Science Fiction

At Big Think Dr. Shelly Ann des Etages, a senior principal scientist at pharmaceutical firm Pfizer, talks about science fiction, scientific possibilities, and what the Doctor would do on her episode of Dr. Who.

des Etages also plugs Writer's Block, which "exists to support the growth and advancement of aspiring and published, youth and adult, African-American writers of all genres and to promote African-American literature, authors, and literary events."
