Biography[]
Gene Drives[]
Scientifica invented Gene Drives, which consisted of genetic traits that could be inserted directly into an organism to modify its DNA, with these modifications being able to spread throughout the population. She was able to insert a Gene Drive into a group of rabbits, modifying them to be able to eat meat instead of vegetables.[1]
Bixby-Con[]
Scientifica was invited to present at Bixby-Con, a scientific convention hosted by Ignatius Bixby, hosting a booth titled "Scientifica's Miraculous Gene Drives." Scientifica was dozing off at her booth when she was startled awake by a visitor whistling. Claiming she was meditating, Scientifica started her opening spiel, but the visitor cut her off and asked her to simply tell him what her work was about. Scientifica explained the Gene Drives to him before a woman came to take the visitor away, with both heading into the crowd as Scientifica called out for them to hurry back before falling asleep again.
While escaping the convention after their cover was blown, the visitor, Felix Desta, and the woman, Darcy Lewis, wound up near Scientifica's Gene Drive booth. To distract their pursuers, Felix and Darcy released Scientifica's rabbits from their cages, with the rabbits scattering throughout the convention floor.[1]
