"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Soccer, mainly (both M/W), and women's sports in general. The women's soccer team, both coaches and athletes, at my University in the late 90's were super friendly and knowledgable, and that kind of reeled me in.
