anthropomorphization (I hope that is a word!)

Without going to look it up, I'd lay odds that it's at least close, if not exactly, the word you were looking for. I've read it before, I know.
Sigh...I couldn't not look it up! You were spot on with spelling and everything:
an·thro·po·mor·phize ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nthr-p-môrfz)
v. an·thro·po·mor·phized, an·thro·po·mor·phiz·ing, an·thro·po·mor·phiz·es
v. tr.
To ascribe human characteristics to.

v. intr.
To ascribe human characteristics to things not human.

Your job sounds fascinating...one of the sort that I wish they gave adult field trips through. So, tell me Science Chick, in what way will your research be applied? Pharmacologically? (is that a word?)
