Biology friending meme?

[sciatrix]

It occurs to me that I have an awful lot of subscribers and friends who have varying interests and expertises in biology, psychology, and all sorts of related topics and ideas. 'Related' being read broadly here--if it touches on natural or social sciences and you want to share, please do.

Therefore, I thought I'd spin up a biology friending meme. What kind of background in the subject do you have? What things do you find interesting?

reductionism is the only way we can begin to unravel the great knots of understanding, though!

Synthetic biology and developmental biology--are we talking optogenetics here or...? Flexibility and context are my watchwords, intellectually speaking, although my own work focuses a little bit more into the periphery and how hormonal signaling works to let individuals integrate their internal and social contexts.

I would read all of these things! In particular, the embodiment of social constructions into epigenetic mechanisms topic--god, I feel like many biologists don't really appreciate how easily that can be done; that one I would volunteer to help co-write with you if you wanted, because it is such a fascinating topic.

On the other hand, what if you just posted a PARAGRAPH about these things and then we had an exceedingly nerdy discussion in the comments?
