This is fascinating. I always loved science fiction growing up just because it brought science and those visions of it's achievements together. After high school I came very close to studying physics at university, but the dullness of actual science as it was taught put me off it - there WAS no vision or "story", just bland and arbitrary tasks and equations. I actually ended up as a creative writing tutor of all things, but I still try to keep my passion for science's stories alive by reading about the LHC, watching documentaries, and closely following the work of organizations like the Tau Zero Foundation.
