CLINTON

Last time around we asked you to invent a unique way to destroy the new Enterprise – NCC-1701-F

Mad Marv gave us this scenario: “I predict that the main computer will gain sentience from a transporter accident with The Doctor (from Voyager).  His pattern in the buffer jumps the shar..firewall and rub off onto the main computer.  The computer starts to speak and sound exactly like Moriarty while totally denying that Moriarty is back.  Everything goes downhill from there until Moriarty decides to time travel the Enterprise back to his home in 19th century England.  He drops a decimal point, or three, in his calculations and the Enterprise goes somewhere/somewhen and is never seen again.  Maybe.  Depends if he takes Jellico, Pulaski, etc. with him.”

This time we ask:

“What are your top 3 moments from Discovery, seasons 1-4?”

Dr. Noor is a professor of biology at Duke University, as well as an Associate of the Duke Initiative for Science and Society and a Biology Bass Fellow at the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences . His research involves seeking answers to questions like “What genetic changes contribute to the formation of new species?” and “How does the process of genetic recombination affect both species formation and molecular evolution?”

He hosts the YouTube channel “BioTrekkie Explains!,” and often has a very special Trek co-host – Jayne Brooke (“Star Trek: Discovery’s” Admiral Katrina Cornwell).  In addition, much like fellow friend of the show Dr. Erin Macdonald, Dr. Noor serves as an occasional science consultant for the Star Trek universe.

Dr. Noor is the author of the book, Live Long and Evolve: What Star Trek Can Teach Us about Evolution, Genetics, and Life on Other Worlds
