What role did Ebright’s mother play in his success?

Ebright’s mother encouraged him to learn by taking him to trips, buying him telescopes, microscopes, cameras, mounting materials, and other equipments to guide him in cultivating his interests. She also bought him the children’s book called ‘The Travels of Monarch X’, which was about monarch butterflies migrating to Central America. That opened the world of Science to the eager young learner Ebright .
