Robert Walker got his undergraduate degree in warp-core engineering from the Vulcan Science Academy where he helped to build the Federation prototype matter/anti-matter propulsion system. Regrettably, he can never return to that planet as a result of a banishment order by the appellate ethical board for interspecies affairs. He then returned to Earth where he earned a graduate degree in dimensional mechanics (and a minor in modern dance) with Prof. Emilio Lizardo. After a post-doc in "alternative" theology from Miskatonic University with Prof. Abdul Alhazred (who vanished under mysterious circumstances) he joined us here where he is recovering nicely. And as soon as he gets off his duff and gives me his real bio I'll remove this nasty bit.
