Sci-fi has always been great at inspiring curiosity and ambition, especially when it comes to space and technology. Dr. Erin Macdonald’s journey from Star Trek’s Starfleet Academy to real-world science consulting is a perfect example of how fiction can shape careers. It’s kinda like how some of us get obsessed with certain challenges—take the GMAT, for example. Understanding gmat score and percentiles can feel like navigating a star chart, trying to find the best path forward. Whether it’s sci-fi or standardized tests, knowing the system makes all the difference!
