We need to expand our tech tree

Wetfish needs more doctors and chemists and stuff like that. We've got plenty of computer nerds.

What can we do to get more people from other fields interested in the community?

Why would doctors and chemists come here though?  What do they get out of hanging out with a bunch of computer nerds?  I'll try to get my chemist friend Shanna and her mech-engineer boyfriend Collin involved, but I need some way to meet you guys up in person so they can understand how cool and interesting wetfish is.

That's exactly what I want to figure out. How do we incentivize people from other fields to get involved?

And sure, are they local Denver people?

Did they join and not like what they saw or did they not even bother? Did they have some excuse? Like... "Oh, but I use discord"?

awhile back i worked with particle physics scientists in high school, and we sifted through higgs boson candidates, i think any person that works with massive amounts of data would have an interest coming here, or at least asking for our help, and then we could maybe eventually get them to join us.

How do we, as a society, get more people like Leonardo da Vinci?

He predicted the movement of blood the inside the heart 500 years before anyone else.
