Davis) and Margaret Scully (Sheila Larken), into a close-knit Catholic family with Irish ancestry. She has an older brother, Bill Jr., an older sister, Melissa, and a younger brother, Charles, who is never seen on the show except in flashbacks. Scully&#8217;s father was a U.S. Navy Captain, who died of a heart attack in early January 1994. Dana Scully grew up in Annapolis, Maryland and later in San Diego, California. As a young girl, Scully&#8217;s favorite book was Moby-Dick and she came to nickname her father &#8220;Ahab&#8221; from the book, and in return, he called her &#8220;Starbuck.&#8221; Due to this she named her dog Queequeg.<\/p>\n<p>Scully attended The University of Maryland, and in 1986 received a Bachelor of Science degree in physics. Her undergraduate thesis was titled Einstein&#8217;s Twin Paradox: A New Interpretation. While in medical school at Stanford University she was recruited by the FBI; she accepted the agency&#8217;s offer of employment because she felt she could distinguish herself there. After two years in the bureau, Division Chief Scott Blevins assigned her to work with agent Fox Mulder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1985,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/scully.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1927"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1947,"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1927\/revisions\/1947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stevenarrieta.com\/WEB0471\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
