Ryan Michney

Ryan Michney holds a PhD in astrophysics from Brown University, where he studied the role of dark energy in the expanding universe by squinting at blurry images of galaxies and writing buggy software for seven years. He also did science outreach at local schools, museums, quiz competitions, and public events. He is very proud of how many references to The Room he shoehorned into his thesis (three), and has consulted for the Science & Entertainment Exchange and the Talk to a Physicist program.
