I'm a retired Professor and Dean from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

My doctorate is in Evolutionary Biology and Evolutionary Theory; my Master's is in Paleobiology; my second Bachelor's is in Anthropology and Mathematics; and my first Bachelor's in in Philosophy of Science, Epistemology, and Logic.

My interests are fairly wide, especially in retirement, and include most areas of science; formal, codified systems of information (such as natural and artificial language, DNA, mathematics, formal logic, and music); literature; and Classical Mythology.
