dustin henderson is a massive nerd who loves research. the whole ānasa engineerā idea is propaganda. he is absolutely not having a straightforward career path.
heās going to go into college a physics major, woo the hell out of his professors, rotate around a few labs, fall in love with biophysics, add a double major in biochemistry, bounce around both fields through grad school, and eventually dedicate his life to researching the biophysics of some random protein thatās only found in grasshoppers.
heās going to be a PI in his 40s in the basement of some private university in the midwest looking at his lab absolutely stuffed wall to wall floor to ceiling with terrariums, each full of no less than 150 grasshoppers, and heāll think to himself āwhat the fuckā¦ i was supposed to be a rocket scientistā¦ā
but heāll stick to his research, maybe ease his way back into the physics and engineering side of things, probably solve protein folding or something (what, like itās hard?), and eventually get invited by nasa to head a research project on space medicine. heāll feel good about finally ending up at a nasa, even if itās not in the way he thought heād end up when he was young.
and then he gets laid off in 2025 no who said that he has a long and fulfilling career and is remembered as an esteemed biophysicist with a massive legacy in research and academia
