Research Divisions

Six specialized divisions. One researcher. The Institute pursues humanity's least-asked questions wherever they lead, provided they do not lead far.

Division of Oral-Thermal Studies

Investigating the mouth as both instrument and battlefield. The division's landmark work on plaque-based capsaicin shielding remains unreplicated, largely because no one has tried.

1 published finding

Bureau of Ocular Studies

Dedicated to the human eye and the many household appliances that may or may not improve it. The Bureau maintains the Institute's only kitchen.

Bureau of Airborne Anatomy

Measuring what the sky does to the human body, one nostril at a time. Operates the Institute's wind tunnel, which doubles as a hallway.

Department of Defiant Rest

Studying sleep as an act of resistance. The department's staff are difficult to reach before noon, which they cite as their strongest result.

Division of Appliance Navigation

Charting how humans move among their machines. Fieldwork is ongoing, and mostly conducted in the dark.
