Revision as of 11:45, 19 November 2014 by imported>Alm
- Alisandra is a postdoctoral scholar at the UCP Department of Psychology, doing research on human behavior modeling. She recently completed a successful defense of a well-received dissertation in Mathematics, and is occasionally shanghaied into teaching introductory sections for either department. If you attend, work at, or teach at the University, you may have met her, or at least heard of her.
- She bears a striking resemblance to an idealized version of the late Dr. Alison Beaumarys, a promising researcher in human biology and genetics who died in an auto accident about eighteen years ago. Anyone who remembers Dr. Beaumarys is likely to notice.
- When not at the University, she spends a lot of time haunting libraries, bookstores, coffee shops, and other quiet places to sit and read.
- Thanks to her unusual looks, it's quite rare for Alisandra to go out in public without being noticed -- maybe you've encountered her before, in which case it's probable you'd remember.
- If you're a practicing physician, you may have prescribed -- or refused to prescribe -- pain medication for her.
- Alisandra is fluent in Mandarin and Spanish and is happy to assist in overcoming language barriers. She is currently studying Arabic in her copious free time.
- Thanks to a somewhat sheltered childhood, Alisandra has relatively little experience of the outside world, and is therefore intensely curious about it. If you look, sound, or act in a way that she finds exotic, she might be interested enough to inquire further.
- Members of the Technocracy may know somewhat more about her, her father (retired cognitive scientist Dr. John Moorcroft) or her late mother.
