I think I was was wondering in part how many cryptids of fairly able to pass for humans types ended up in academia - in many ways, it seems a fairly accommodating sort of environment and... well, okay, the thought just amuses me. I mean, if I'm going to have to deal with assertions that I'm not human, speculating about the secret identities of my fellows is a lovely way to pass the time during slower seminars. (Especially since the head of the department asked me to stop spinning.)
Though it's impossible not to think about female dragon MBAs now. (And dragon CS majors who became statistical modellers on Wall Street.)
But I was also thinking a bit about comments in Discount Armegeddon about Evelyn's role as a general purpose medic... which had me wondering how much different cryptid groups had integrated enough into human society to leverage human tech. (I suppose there are plenty of cryptids who just can't integrate, and there her willingness to make housecalls might be especially welcome. St. Giles' might be all well and good, but such an institution probably only makes sense in a population center, which brings with it other problems.)
