Character from Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
The backup science specialist who died alongside DuBois — two deaths that made Grace's forced recruitment inevitable.
Annie Shapiro was the safety net. If DuBois couldn't fly, she would. The fact that both the primary and backup science specialists died in the same accident represents either catastrophic bad luck or a fundamental underestimation of how dangerous Astrophage handling was. Her death, combined with DuBois's, left Stratt with no trained science specialist and no time to train one — which is how a middle-school science teacher ended up twelve light-years from home.
Details sparse — a trained scientist prepared for a mission she never reached.
