When I first learned of epigenetic transgenerational inheritance, I really wanted to explore it as my dissertation. I didn't but I've always thought it'd be interesting to examine how extreme adverse effects get passed down to subsequent generations through DNA.

If I were starting all over, I'd definitely do this now. Either that or study feline cognition, of course. ;)

I don't understand how feline cognition is an understudied field. Conducting cat observations for data collection seems like anyone's dream.

Because cats can do certain things that involve memory, task completion, and reasoning, they just don't care.

Semi off topic but I just read about a startup that is making video games for dogs. Maybe there is some good feline cognition studies on the horizon!
