Duncan Malc

Scottish-born Duncan Malc (political satire pen name) is an MIT and Cornell trained scientist, engineer, and Silicon Valley entrepreneur. As a young boy, he emigrated with his family to Canada, where he was promptly diagnosed with a severely disruptive Scottish accent. However, neither the diagnosis nor the treatment burdened Duncan's immigrant parents, thanks to Canada's exceptional public schools and comprehensive healthcare system. In 1989, Duncan was a postdoctoral researcher in Germany when the Berlin Wall fell, as a result of which he finds recent zealotry for building walls, never mind demonizing immigrants, public schools, or universal healthcare, to be fundamentally misguided. 

Widely published in leading scientific and engineering journals, and winner of awards for his scientific achievements, Duncan Malc has entertained friends, family, and coworkers for decades with his rollicking verse and boisterous songsmanship. In "Donald's Deadly Roller Coaster", he harnesses this same energy to engineer the English language into a potent antidote designed to help millions of dumbstruck people around the world find and raise their voices again in the age of Trump.
