Writers, directors, sci-fi fans, and kids: get ready to learn about the real science in your fiction! Join us for a discussion of how comics and science fiction push scientists and engineers to rocket past what we know is possible at any given moment and into an otherwise unimaginable future! Panel guests include Ben Frable (marine biologist, Scripps Institution of Oceanography), Dr. Sunny Fugate (technical director for cyber warfare, Naval Information Warfare Center), Dr. Alyssa Griffin (postdoctoral fellow, Bodega Marine Laboratory, U.C. Davis), Sara Huber (water resources control engineer), Chris Neuhahn (Emmy Award-winning animator, director, and writer), Dr. Lisa Zeigler (viral ecologist, J. Craig Venter Institute), and Angela Zoumplis (extremophile explorer, Scripps Institute of Oceanography). Come curious and leave inspired! Moderated by Karen Martin (The Princess Project).
