Mandy asked Deborah Harkness:

I love the depth of research apparent in your books. The thing that always blows me away is the science talk. Can you tell us a little bit about if you already had science leanings or if you had to do a bunch of extra research to make Matthew, Miriam and Marcus sound so real?

Deborah Harkness well, I'm a historian of science so I do try to keep up with scientific developments now as well as in the past. I was actually terrible at science in high school, but I know lots of scientists and they have been very generous with helping me to get the science just right when I'm done with my research.
