My alma mater has awarded one of their top academic honours to Dr Djoymi Baker for her PhD thesis which explores Star Trek, the perpetuation of myth and its cultural relevance. I’d read it. Via Slashdot.
P.S. Love the photo they took at Old Law (or whatever they call it nowadays) for The Age article.
