Bad Religion's Greg Graffin, while recording his band's upcoming album, has taken a position at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a lecturing professor in the Life Science Department.

Graffin was interviewed by the UCLA campus newspaper, and discusses both his passion for academia and punk rock.

The article notes:

Listen in on one of Greg Graffin's lectures and you'll encounter an eloquent, soft-spoken man. The life science professor might even crack a joke here or there, keeping his audience captivated as he delves into the mysteries of evolution, ecology and the diversity of life.

It's hard to believe that this same man fronts Bad Religion, the band widely known as the 'Godfathers of Punk.'

'I get a lot less sleep than most people,' Graffin said. 'Of course, there are a lot of people - researchers on campus, who are living in their labs and accomplishing a great deal, and doctors who are always on call - these are people just as productive as me, except my other half of productivity goes into music and songwriting.'
