  As a psychologist, the best I could hope for in that situation is to be able to understand how people work, how they think, and how they feel.

  Great question! I’m not sure that my scientific skill set would get me very far in Post-Apocalyptia.. At least to start with, I’d have thought you’d need to find people with the practical skills to secure the food and water supplies!

  As a scientist, I think my problem-solving skills are pretty good. Also, I know some genetics and biochemistry that might come in handy. If absolutely necessary, I can take animals apart 🙂
