Mattel has involved Barbie in the science field as far back as the 1960s with the release of astronaut Barbie. Emma Mackey's character isn't based on a singular Barbie, but is inspired by a line that Mattel released in 2023 of prominent female figures in STEM, as well as other dolls like astrophysicist Barbie, released in 2019.
