John Bierce is a history and science enthusiast with a passion for all things fantasy and science fiction. He is a self-proclaimed "dork" who has a talent for walking into automatic doors, according to his own accounts. Bierce's love for learning is not limited to the pages of a book, as he has a background in the earth sciences and has even been known to lick rocks for scientific purposes.
Bierce's fascination with the world around him extends beyond the earth's surface, as he is currently traveling the globe as a digital nomad. However, his adventures are not focused on the typical tourist destinations. Instead, Bierce finds himself drawn to the urban ecology of drainage ditches in foreign countries. His curiosity and love for learning have led him to make some fascinating discoveries, such as the presence of freshwater crabs in Southeast Asia. These crabs, he notes, are exceptional parents, which is a surprising characteristic in crustaceans.
