Significant contributions toward mathematical proofs and a wide range of scientific thought.

Euclidean Geometry

Lenora loved the way so many conclusions could be made from a few basic principles in the field of Euclidean Geometry. She enjoyed simply reading the theorems and proofs that dated back to the ancient Greeks. She, herself, came up with an innovative way to prove the Pythagorean Theorem.

Biology

Imaginal discs are structures found in the larva of insects, such as butterflies, which, unlike the other cells, remain intact after metamorphosis. The adult body is created from these discs. Lenora conceived of a clever way to to incorporate imaginal discs from butterflies into fish eggs, thereby hybridizing the two species and also allowing for butterfly morphology to seamlessly blend with fish bodies (such as wings and antennae).

Agriculture

Lenora delved deeply into the mechanisms of plants, especially those involved with agriculture. She had many interesting ideas (some still untested) about how to increase yields through manipulation of sugars available to rhizomes. The depletion of sucrose and the use of novel sugars were areas of her inquiry.

Cuneiform Writing

Likely the mystery surrounding ancient cultures drew Lenora's interest to cuneiform writing. More specifically, she studied proto-cuneiform, which was its prcecursor and was chock full of unexplained characters and signs. Her uncanny photographic memory allowed Lenora to find linkages between this early writing and its later counterpart. In fact, her insights were proven correct in 2024, when researchers studying engravings on cylindrical seals were able to definitively link the two systems of writing.

Fractals

Lakelies have speculated that the study of fractals gave Lenora more justification for her pursuit of the occult. The simple, yet complex world of fractals in nature are awe-inspiring and conjure a world of order and chaos. The cyclical, repeating patterns we find in nature can rhyme well with the spiritual essence of the supernatural.
