Description

Brad Balukjian's work has appeared  in  Rolling Stone, National Geographic, the Los Angeles Times, and many other publications. His bio on his website states he is a doctor, but not one who can write you a prescription (unless you're a sick insect). He hated school when he was little, but now loves it so much that after graduating from the 23rd grade, he has moved to the other side of the desk to teach natural history at Merritt College in Oakland, California. He has strong opinions about the value of education, exposure to nature, and utility infielders from the 1980s, and is pursuing a hybrid career of teaching, writing, and research to get the word out that science is accessible and (gasp!) fun. He chose this path because he never wants to stop learning and apparently has a strong aversion to money. He joins the show to talk about his great new book "THE WAX PACK: ON THE OPEN ROAD IN SEARCH OF BASEBALL'S AFTERLIFE"
