Unusual things I research for my current work…

  • Haptic Communication (communicating by touch)
  • The natures of orphaned, adopted, and foster children, and what adults experience caring for them
  • Genetic memory (it can affect donated organ recipients)
  • Evolutionary psychology (how instincts are formed by past generations)
  • Israeli wines
  • The history of violins and Classical music…To quote The West Wing, Anything written after 1860 sucks…
  • Cybernetics, genetic engineering, organic 3D printing, and bionic implants (real-world prototype technology)
  • European fashion (the high-end stuff)
  • Duration of combat tours for the Australian Commandos, and their mission types (esp. in Afghanistan)
    …And the list goes on…

Think Sen’s cursed genetics. I used Spiders as the base, because a lot of spiders are polyploid.
