We recently spent the weekend with Ryan and he graciously explained his research in low dimensional topology in a language that we could not only understand, but could see the elegance of his work. In his first podcast, we will explore his "accidental career" and how he stumbled into integral methodologies that have infused his teaching and administration at American University of Cairo, Egypt, Quest University, Canada, Fulbright University, Vietnam, and his current position at Deep Springs College, in Eastern California.
