Bio
My name is Patrick N.R. Julius. I often go by Pat or PJ.
I am and have been many things: An author, an artist, a photographer, a teacher, a researcher. I have been happily married to David N. Ross since October 9, 2021.
I have a bachelor's degree in cognitive science from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, a master's degree in economics from California State University at Long Beach, and a PhD in economics from the University of California, Irvine. In 2005 (when I was 16) I wrote and published Special Relativity from the Ground Up.
My blog, on which I post every weekend, is primarily about how rethinking economics and reuniting it with philosophy and the other social sciences can lead to better policies and even conquer global problems like poverty and inequality. My long-term goal is to balance three pursuits: Research, education, and policy. While there is much we still don't know—research—there is also a great deal that we do know that others do not—education—and a great deal of knowledge that could be put into practice immediately and benefit millions of people—policy.
I also write a lot of fiction, mostly science fiction, usually with a lot of queer themes.
