Panelists:
Alex
Filippenko - Alex is the Richard & Rhoda Goldman Distinguished
Professor in the Physical Sciences at UC Berkeley. An elected member of
the National Academy of Sciences, he is one of the world's most highly
cited astronomers and has received numerous prizes for his research. His
primary areas of research are supernovae (exploding stars), active
galaxies, black holes, gamma-ray bursts, and cosmology. He was a member
of both teams that used observations of supernovae to discover the
accelerating expansion of the universe, which was honored with the 2011
Nobel Prize in Physics to the team leaders. Winner of the top teaching
awards at UC Berkeley and voted the “Best Professor” on campus a record 9
times, he was selected as the National Professor of the Year in 2006.
He has produced five astronomy video courses with "The Great Courses,"
wrote an award-winning college textbook, and appears in numerous TV
documentaries, including about 40 episodes in "The Universe" series on
The History Channel.
Seth Shostak - Seth claims to have developed
an interest in extraterrestrial life at the tender age of ten, when he
first picked up a book about the solar system. This innocent beginning
eventually led to a degree in radio astronomy, and now, as Senior
Astronomer, Seth is an enthusiastic participant in the Institute’s SETI
observing programs. He also heads up the International Academy of
Astronautics’ SETI Permanent Committee. In addition, Seth is keen on
outreach activities: interesting the public – and especially young
people – in science in general, and astrobiology in particular. He’s
co-authored a college textbook on astrobiology, and has written three
trade books on SETI. In addition, he’s published more than 400 popular
articles on science -- including regular contributions to both the
Huffington Post and Discover Magazine blogs -- gives many dozens of
talks annually, and is the host of the SETI Institute’s weekly science
radio show, “Big Picture Science.”
Richard Rhodes - the author or
editor of twenty-four books including The Making of the Atomic Bomb,
which won a Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction, a National Book Award and a
National Book Critics Circle Award; Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen
Bomb, which was shortlisted for a Pulitzer Prize in History; and four
novels. He has received numerous fellowships for research and writing,
including grants from the Ford Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation,
the MacArthur Foundation Program in International Peace and Security and
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. He has been a visiting scholar at
Harvard and MIT and a host and correspondent for documentaries on public
television's Frontline and American Experience series.
Marc
Okrand - devised the Vulcan dialogue heard in Star Trek II: The Wrath of
Khan and later developed the Klingon language and coached the actors
using it in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek V: The Final
Frontier, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. He contributed
Klingon dialogue to several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation
and the later Star Trek television series, and he created Romulan and
Vulcan dialogue for the 2009 Star Trek film. Okrand is the author of
three books about Klingon – The Klingon Dictionary (first published
1985), The Klingon Way (1996), and Klingon for the Galactic Traveler
(1997).
