Baldscientist

I am a husband, a father of three and a baldie who also happens to be a pretty good University Professor and Researcher. My undergraduate degree is in General Science, my MS is in Biochemistry, and my PhD is in Pharmacology, with an emphasis in Neurobiology. I love science! (do I really need to say it?) Even though I am well-published in scientific journals, I got the popular science writing bug very recently (2010). I 2014 I published my first book: “The First Brain: The Neuroscience of Planarians” and in 2018 I published “Strange Survivors: How Organisms Defend and Attack in the Game of Life”. Some of my favorite popular science authors are Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould, Edward O. Wilson, Richard Dawkins (when he knows what he is talking about), and of course, the inimitable and very much missed Isaac Asimov... I hope you enjoy my writings! The opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone. They do not represent the views of my employer, my wife, my children, my parents & siblings, my pastor or Chuck Darwin. (:-)......
