Alona's+research+interests

Tell us about yourself  I haven't done much of the research in the past. One silly research that I conducted for myself was the investigation of the mosquito preferences for different types of blood. I noticed that mosquitoes loved to bite me, my father, and some of my friends, but not other people. I also noticed that my father, I, and other people so favored by mosquitoes, were people with type O blood. Because I work in the laboratory, all my co-workers know their blood types, I conducted a small survey among them and noted that mosquitoes do prefer people with type O blood more than people with other blood types (A, B, AB) Rh factor does not matter. This survey has no scientific ground to back it up, and it may be completely biased... I would want to know if it is possible to use water or anything that is easily accessible to fuel our cars instead of petroleum gas. Because the gas industry involves trillions of dollars, any research associated with alternative energy sources may be stopped. Oil Magnats will pay big bucks to shut down any research associated with alternative energy sources because they do not want to lose their source of income.  I would like to investigate more about the causes and prevention of mental diseases. I would like to prove/disprove the chemical/anatomical associations of mental illnesses rather than behavioral cause.
