A Fun Scientific Name (And Other Similarly Fun Names)

Death match: Macaca fuscata fuscata versus Yo Yo Ma versus Boutros Boutros Ghali. And, yes, I am thinking of a certain Seinfeld soundbite right now. A certain album by The Police also came to mind.

Some scientific disciplines get so many of the fun names...

About Me

Mason: I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously, I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow in Somerville College. I am also a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See my website for more information about me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop.
