Prof. Bruce is a former Navy Seal, an associate with Dangerland Sciences Research Foundation, and lead scientist in radionic map dowsing and detection of pirate fleets.
Prof. Bruce uses live culture bio-communications amplified radionic circuts... he is often seen with a spoon, eating yogurt straight from the witness wells of his radionic devices.
His secret project is a blue cheese burger with wires to his interface. Grease dribbling down his chin while he scans the ether-noise for signal.
