Long been fascinated with Natural History topics, particularly botany and mycology - the study of fungi.
But other topics of interest include anthropology, archaeology and History. For several years now I've developed a keen interest in the "dominance-submissive authoritarian embrace" or "RWA-SDO"[Altemeyer, Pratto]).
