Michael Faraday’s lab. Interesting how early electricity researchers were basically chemists first. What new field today has an unlikely parent? What current field might give rise to an unlikely child field?

Computational biology.

You wouldn't think to mix binary code with the wet, squishy, messy things that *literally* caused "bugs" in early computers, but it's a huge interdisciplinary field that brought major advances into both biology and comp sci. e.g., biology has both inspired and facilitated advanced AI/ML.
