Hey, Paleo Pasi, before we dive into this week's show, I just want to remind you all that, as we announced in the last episode, we will be performing a live taping of the podcast at the Bay Area Science Festival in San Francisco.

As part of the Nerd Night Block Party, we're going to be performing October 24th at 630 p.m. at Piston and

chain. It's at 9th and Fulton if you're in the area. We would love to have you come by and say hello.

It's going to be a free event. We're going to have beers. We're going to have fun guests.

It's going to be myself, Kelly Weiner-Smith, and special guest, Ben Tippett. So he's going to be there

in Human form, is what he's told me. The fact that he pronounced Human makes me suspicious, but

I think it's going to work out. I think this is going to be a lot of fun. So hopefully people

in the Bay Area and surrounding

outlying regions will come say hey to us. We would love to meet you in person and to show you

hopefully a night of entertaining science, education, edutainment, really. It's what that,

if you combine those two things together, becomes. So our first attempt doing something like this in a while,

and we really want it to be a success,

so we can continue to do things like it in the future.

And we would just really love to see you there.

So come if you can, say hello.

Can't wait to see you.

And enjoy the rest of the episode.

From science sort of.com, you're listening to Science Sort of.

Hello and welcome to Science Sort of.

This is episode 207. Our theme this week is Drop Bears from South America. I'm your host Ryan, and we're doing another one of those long-form interview shows where we talk to one person for the whole time about the cool work they do. This week, that person is Robert McAfee. Thanks for joining us, Robert. Thanks, all right. Great.

Pleasure to be here. Robert got his biology degree from Bowling Green State University and his PhD from Northern Illinois University. And he now is a professor at Ohio Northern University.

Is that right?
