About Justin
[Editor's Note: Justin left the show after Episode 15 citing irreconcilable differences and demanding 50% of everything we were worth. Fortunately that was Zero dollars so we gave it to him and sent him packing but we were crying too, if you want him back e-mail him and let him know you miss him.]
I’m an ecology Ph.D. student at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I study how carnivore communities contribute to ecosystem complexity and stability,
but spend the vast majority of my time being distracted by dinosaurs, wolfram alpha, and Apple’s movie trailer website. My interests include complexity theory, networks, and historical ecology- I try to mix them together when I can. I currently conduct all of my research in Africa, and frequently attempt to plug the continent on the show, much to the disdain of the other paleopals. When I’m not in the field, lab, or recording a Science… Sort Of show, I can be found fortifying the bunker under my house for either a) the impending black hole disaster that will surely consume the planet, thanks to the LHC (can’t wait), or b) the unavoidable zombie plague of 2012. My Richard Feynman Degree of Separation is ’2′. I can bake 20 minute brownies in 15 minutes.

You and Charlie have very calming effects on what could be the crazy Ryan show. I love the podcast and the balance of personal relationship plays well via the interwebby contraption (technical term).
I agree! I need them for just that purpose (and cause they’re smarter than me).
As the guy going back and listening to all the episodes in order, I’m probably the most recent person to suddenly look around and say “Hey, where’s Justin?!” Miss your contributions, and hope all is well!
