Nuts/Bolts

If my digital presence is confusing because multiple, it is because until fall 2017, I am also a postdoc at the amazingly supportive program in Science and Technology Studies at UC Davis.

Here is a copy of my CV, which is often but not always current. It does not include my considerable prowess at designing this website.

You can contact me at jzee at ucsc dot edu.

All photos on this site were taken by myself or by Micah P. Hilt.
