"Her life to date reads like something dreamt up during a Disney story conference: pretty American teen fulfils a life-long dream of a career in quantum physics at both Harvard and Oxford. And the fantasy cash register goes right on ringing because our heroine has not one career, but two. Between all-night stints in the lab she leads a double life as a professional ballet dancer. At this point one the grown-ups in our imaginary brainstorm might lean in and suggest that maybe the two-career thing was a mite, er, far-fetched? But Dr Merritt Moore, quantum physicist and alumna of four major-league ballet companies (Zurich, Boston, Norwegian, and English National), is living proof that this crazy scenario can be lived in real time by anyone with the ability to devote themselves body and soul to the dreams that devour them." p.12.
