Describe the contribution of his mother in Richard Ebright's life. What role did she play in making Ebright a scientist.

Dear Student, 

Richard had a natural inclination towards studying science. However, it was her mother that egged her on. She bought scientific gadgets like microscopes, telescopes, etc. She was a source of constant encouragement for him. She supported him in his hobby of collecting butterflies. She brought the book 'The Travels of Monarch X' for him. This book opened the world of science to Richard. The book paved the way for transforming Richard from a young enthusiastic butterfly collector to a scientist. She even wrote to Dr. Urquhart and thus helped Richard connect with him. He gave Richard a host of ideas for preparing an experiment for the country fair. 

Regards,
