Asterik? Asperin? Ostrich? No, Astrid!
In correlation with Isabel's panel character, I would like to be Agent Astrid Farnsworth, also from the "Fringe" TV series. Astrid is a junior agent with the FBI who works in Walter Bishop's lab, and she is the assistant to another agent. She primarily focuses on cryptanalysis and uses this skill to find patterns to assist with the investigations. According to the show, Astrid went to Haverford College and graduated with a double major in Music and Linguistics and with a minor in Computer Science. Although Astrid has a vast amount of knowledge and technical experience, she still seems to be treated as inconsequential by Walter, especially since he still cannot remember her name even though they have worked in the same lab for years (this should explain the title of my post!). Because of Walter's "unique personality," Astrid spends a lot of her time helping him emotionally in addition to helping him professionally. Is this because of her gender? Hopefully we can explore this during the panel.
