Brad Balukjian is director of the Natural History and Sustainability Program and teaches biology at Merritt College in Oakland, California. He's also a scientist. Specifically, he's an island biogeographist. (Yeah, Brad didn't know what that was either. He studies evolutionary diversity on islands!) Of course he's written one of the most interesting baseball books—The Wax Pack—to come out during the pandemic. So, grab a cold beer and swing by the Jam Bunker as the two Brads talk science, baseball cards, and the state of writing.
