I am interested in life sciences and astronomy.
And I do like great food.
Pretty much every state has something to see with regard to life sciences. Kentucky, for instance, has the most diverse forest in the Eastern U.S., and some very tasty cuisine. It is not the best state to visit if astronomy is your thing, though the Louisville Astronomical Society is one of the oldest amateur astronomy clubs in the country. If astronomical vistas are your thing, you can do worse by visiting Utah or Arizona. In fact, the best night time skies I've ever see are at Arches National Park, in Utah. You don't even need a telescope to be completely wowed by the skies there.
Good luck.

"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!
