������Ƶ Biology Professor ‘Inspired’ to Create Music Album

You might think it’s a little unusual for a scientist to also be a singer/songwriter.

But for ������Ƶ Biology Professor Matthew Bonnan, the two professions don’t seem that far apart.

“I enjoy being inspired by art,” the Hammonton resident said. “Art is just as important as science because it’s all part of what makes us human, and it’s all part of what draws us together.”

That sense of is one of the goals that Bonnan is trying to achieve with the release this month of a new album of 12 original songs titled “Once Upon Deep Time.” Bonnan has used his primary field of paleontology to tell a story through music about how sound connects us to the past.

“There is some science content in there, but it’s not supposed to be a K-12 lesson,” he said. “It’s supposed to get people to stop for a moment and go, ‘I didn’t know that. That’s interesting.’ Maybe that encourages some people to look into things further.”
