Lazarus Davis is currently serving as a Science Officer aboard the {{USS|Constitution}}. | Lazarus "Juice" Davis is currently serving as a Science Officer aboard the {{USS|Constitution}}. He often finds himself at odds internally: the inherent conservatism of a scientist juxtaposed with the pointed irreverence of a creative mindset. Lazarus' personality profile has correctly identified him as an ''agent provocateur,'' but he wishes the file would emphasize his good-natured attitude, as the term can carry a negative connotation. "Juice" is easy to get along with, and thinks unique experiences of all kinds are the spice of life. His sense of humor is dryer than the surface of Mercury, which can make him hard to read. He is adept in social settings, but stumbles more often than perhaps most do and can be a ''bit'' garrulous at times. | ||

The distinction between clinical and research psychology is opaque at times. In fact, there's plenty of friction between clinical and research psychology because clinical psychology focuses on ''treating abnormal minds'', whereas research psychology is heavily focused on ''understanding and describing nominative conceptualizations of the mind.'' Lazarus is solidly a researcher, with no medical aspirations or abilities (beyond the Academy basics). A medical doctor, counselor, and a scientist are coming at the topic of the mind with radically different lenses and with fundamentally different goals. But that's the beauty of it: together, the different perspectives may form a greater whole than the sum of their parts in terms of understanding the mind. These opportunities excite Lazarus. | The distinction between clinical and research psychology is opaque at times.

In his spare time, Lazarus is a songwriter and composer, as well as an avid music listener. His view of music history is genealogical in that he sees a clear lineage in his musical preferences to a series of late 20th century Earth musicians and composers. Lazarus also dabbles in writing holoprograms that live between typical holonovel-conventions and art. | In his spare time, Lazarus is a songwriter and composer, as well as an avid music listener.
