Gee, the UNM group sounds right up my alley.  My core interest is in the
scientific method, particularly identifying and documenting the
developmental processes of emergent systems.  I have a few opinions on
other things too, as some may have noticed, but that's mostly just
spinning wheels while looking for anyplace that sees the subject as the
kind of scientific problem that would be benefited by good observation
technique.   There's great room for the field to grow in that direction!
