Hi, Jenna,

Thanks for posting.

The “inspiration” for the MASTERMINDS series was to examine the question of “nature vs. nurture.” That means: are we humans the way we are because we inherit our traits and habits and abilities from our ancestors? Or can we be trained out of those inborn habits by living through a different, nicer upbringing. That’s what the Osiris experiment was all about.

And no, it doesn’t relate to anything in my own life, thank goodness!
