Doc Bushwell is a biochemist and a minion of the dark lords of pharma. She is a longtime Tolkien fan, having first read JRRT’s works in the Years of the Lamps. Her public blathering on things scientific may be found on Dr. Joan Bushwell’s Chimpanzee Refuge where she occasionally gets a word in edgewise amongst the raucous hoots of the boisterous young male bonobos. She discreetly indulges in her newly acquired vice of Tolkienism and offers mostly non-scientific yammering at The Bad Clam Incident as “pandemonium_213.”
