Research / general scientific stuff

  • SACNAS -- Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science
  • New Science organization - funds basic science that might not be worth working on if you are focused on publications / citations.
  • experiment foundation - place to get "challenge grants", similar ethos to New Science.
  • Seeds of Science - alternative avenue for publishing articles (weird ones)

Biology, Evolutionary Biology

Music / sampling / music creation

I spend a lot of time making, listening to and thinking about music.

Check out my music page

  • BOP Spotter project "[Riley Walz] installed a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission of San Francisco. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below."
  • Terminal Passage - Youtube channel compiling 'rare grooves', lots of jazz, prog, fusion.
  • Gospel Nostalgia - Youtube channel compiling vintage, often rare Gospel music.
  • Prof. Skye Music Reviews - 'always positive' new music review channel run by a French professor, based on countering the tendency of 'mid-20s music death' (the fact you think new music sucks once you turn roughly 25.)
