Spencer Gilman is Isaac Gilman's son.

Background

Spencer works for Neutrogena and was recognized as the Employee of the Month in July of 2007 [1]. He is a Research Scientist who has been with the company for three years. He received his B.S. in Biochemistry from UCSD in a record three years, graduating in 2004. His area of study was ribozymes with a special focus on autocatalysis.

Spencer shares Bree's love of science, prompting his father to suggest that he mentor Bree. He also enjoys tennis, chess, music, and video blogging.

A Flood of Emails Asking for Help

Through investigative work and help from members of the forums, Taylor, Daniel and Jonas were able to track down Spencer's MySpace and e-mail accounts and urged fans to contact him. They hoped that Spencer would have information about the serum his father, Isaac Gilman, was making to help make Bree "Trait Negative."

When confronted, however, Spencer replied, "although I'm a scientist like him, I have no idea what compound you guys are talking about. So . . . Everyone. Stop. Trying. To. Contact. Me. I've spent the last several months of my life mourning over the loss of my father. All these questions you guys are asking bring up some sad memories of him."

Nevertheless, after participating in an online chat, and reading a letter from his father, Spencer became more sympathetic to the TAAG's cause, saying "I know I said I didn't want to get involved in all this stuff, but after reading my Dad's papers, I kind of feel like it's the right thing to do. My Dad would want me to help . . ."

Spencer's Help

Since then, Spencer has succeeded in creating the serum that will make trait positive girls "Trait Negative," as instructed in the papers left by Drew Avery & Isaac Gilman. He also took it upon himself to "train" Jonas, Daniel, and Taylor when they prepared for Mission Possible, which was TAAG's opportunity to collect a blood sample from a "Trait Positive" girl for the serum.

After Bree's death, Spencer, like most of the other characters, claimed that he would no longer be vlogging. Unlike the others, however, Spencer has stayed true to his word. Spencer is now working abroad in Switzerland, but apparantly keeps in contact with Taylor via text mail. He is now back in LA, according to Kate Modern, as he has contacted Charlie and offered to send her the serum to give to Kate.
