Epidemiology is interesting too.

And something I may be able to contribute to from time to time.

That would be rad!

Well, I guess I know what I'm doing on lunch break later.  :lulz:

Do you have a PD email? I don't check PD on my work computer, or can otherwise wait til I get home.

In theory, I do have one, but I have long since lost the knowledge for how to access it. I'll PM you my other email address though!

Climatology. Geosciences in general. Especially the strange, unusual, and potentially catastrophic. Or once catastrophic.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

I'm not really interested in medicine (as interesting as it is), but in epidemiology, which has more to do with human social behavior. At least from where I'm standing.

Also I second Pix on the neuroscience, particularly social neuroscience.
Yep. Also stuff on mental illness is of interest to me-

Nigel, slightly related, I am in the second chapter of a book by cognitive neuroscientist, Cordelia Fine, called Delusions of Gender which argues that nurture and societal memes and constructs are the core reason for differing performances in certain fields by gender.

Are you or anyone else here interested in getting my thoughts on it after I've finished OR a brief summary chapter by chapter? So far she is funny and engaging, I'm enjoying it because it seems so far, to have pretty much affirmed my suspicion that environment has a much larger part to play than any innate programming.

ABsofuckinglutely! I kind of think a chapter-by-chapter summary would be my preference... more better for ongoing conversation.
