A journey through ecology, evolution, infectious disease, mathematics and computational biology in medicine is what has made Dr. Brandon Ogbunu the scientist he is today. And he is completely unapologetic about it because Brandon’s believes that all these facets of his work, personality and ethnicity put him in a unique position to understand complex interactions. That includes those that we’re seeing in the midst of a pandemic.

We had the pleasure of talking with Brandon about his writing including wired pieces on social justice and spotting experts over opportunists, and an article for ESPN’s The Undefeated. We also talked about his research, comedy and his love for science fiction.

This episode is our final COVID19 live stream. We’d like to thank Brandon for his time, and to our audience for joining the conversation.
