Applied Statistics and Consulting has its roots in the agricultural and animal sciences.  As was the case for many pioneers of modern science (e.g. Florence Nightingale, R.A. Fisher, Gertrude M. Cox), it was a love for the mathematical logic of genetics that turned Susan Spruill on to statistics.  As it happens, a background in the sciences provides a solid foundation for a statistician to understand the needs of scientists and to provide them with cogent advice and clear interpretation of their results.  See Susan Spruill's bibliography for examples of the scientific disciplines that Applied Statistics and Consulting has been involved in.
