Marc Defant Interview – Geology, Psychology & Science in Society

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with author and Professor of Geology & Geochemistry Marc Defant. Currently at the University of South Florida, Marc’s work spans both the physical sciences and evolutionary psychology—bringing a unique interdisciplinary perspective to complex topics. Earlier in his career, he built a distinguished reputation in volcanology, focusing on the origins of continental crust and contributing to our understanding of Earth’s geological evolution. In recent years, his research and writing have explored the intersection of science and society, including discussions on patriarchy, social constructionism, the gender pay gap, and the broader challenges surrounding the interpretation and application of scientific methods in modern discourse. In this conversation, we dive into geology, psychology, critical thinking, and the importance of scientific rigor in understanding the world around us.
