In this week’s Cantina Conversation Steve and Ken talk with Tim Lee.  Tim studying ecology and evolution at UC San Diego, where he graduated magna cum laude in biology. He went on to complete his PhD at UC Davis, developing simulation and analytical models of population dynamics before becoming a comedian.  After finding himself bored in his profession he turned to comedy and has found his community of nerds.  He is now hosting Nerd Comedy Night in Carlsbad, CA.   

The conversation covers how Tim got started in comedy and we have some deeper discussions on the state of the scientific community.  Tim passionately discussed his thoughts on the opioid crisis, global warming, fossil fuels, and plastics.  We had a great time with Tim and are sure many nerds will enjoy this conversation.
