Zara Stone’s sister, Lisa, was born on Christmas Day.
“Every year, my sister would point to the trees and the lights and the Santas and tell everybody that all these decorations and celebrations were for her,” Stone wrote via email. She’s the author of “The Future of Science Is Female: The Brilliant Minds Shaping the 21st Century.” “We grew up in London, and every holiday season, my parents took us to see the holiday lights on Oxford Street. We walked up and down, admiring the twinkles and sparkles that eclipsed the road, gorging on roasted chestnuts, and gawking at the elaborate holiday displays in the windows of Selfridges and Hamleys.”
