Featuring Image Paul M. Sutter Paul M. Sutter is a theoretical cosmologist, award-winning science communicator, NASA advisor, US Cultural Ambassador, and a globally recognized leader in the intersection of art and science. He has authored three critically acclaimed books and hosts a variety of TV shows, including How the Universe Works on Science Channel, Space Out on Discovery, Edge of Knowledge on Ars Technica, and numerous appearances on other shows. He also writes and hosts his hit Ask a Spaceman podcast, which has been downloaded over seven million times. Paul is currently a visiting professor at Barnard College of Columbia University. Image David Ibbett David Ibbett, PhD, is a composer, educator and musical advocate for science. Based in Boston, he is a professor at WPI and directs the Multiverse Concert Series, a project that combines music and science in live performance. His lifelong passion for science began with his father, Dr. Roger Ibbett, who is a research chemist in Nottingham, UK.David composes electrosymphonic music: a fusion of classical and electronic styles that interweaves influences from songs, symphonies, pop, rock and electronica. Musical strands are met with inspiration from the work of scientists: sonified data, musical metaphors for scientific concepts, and experimental sound and images from research.In 2023, he was named the first Resident Composer at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. Image Molly Edwards Dr. Molly Edwards is a science communicator and plant biologist. In 2022 she earned her PhD from the Department of Organismic & Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, where she studied the weird and wonderful 3-D petals of columbine flowers. While in graduate school, she developed her YouTube channel and social media presence as Science IRL — to show the world what being a scientist is like, in real life! She now works full-time as a science communicator and educational media producer, collaborating with researchers across the globe to bring their STEM stories to life. Recent projects include writing for Crash Course Botany; producing and hosting a laboratory tutorial series for LabXchange; and climbing giant robots, poking mutant plants, and sniffing stinky corpse flowers on Science IRL. Image Coleslaw Coleslaw is a multi-media artist, performer, and an award-winning DJ based out of New England. They have been producing drag shows and nightlife events in the area since 2011. Image Madison Florence Madison Florence is a Boston-based dancer and choreographer. When asked "what style of dance do you do?” the simplest answer is that she creates and performs contemporary dance. She grew up performing jazz, ballet, pointe, and hip hop. When she discovered modern, her style began a profound shift into more contemporary movement. Her current work draws on her history of sharp, precise, and athletic movement while highlighting the shapes, curves, and qualities of modern dance. Madison danced throughout college, developing a love for creating access to dance and the arts and curating her personal style. Today she is a dancer, choreographer, and marketing director with several companies while creating work as an independent dancer and choreographer, incorporating her love of fine arts, nature, and science. Image Gonzalo Gonzalez Abad Gonzalo Gonzalez Abad received his BSc degree in physics in 2008 from the Universidad de Valencia, Spain and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of York, York, UK in 2012. He is currently a physicist at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His main research interest is the development of trace gas retrieval algorithms applicable to observations by space-borne ultraviolet and visible solar light backscattered spectrometers. He leads the development of Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) satellite instrument formaldehyde retrievals and is a member of NOAA’s next generation Atmospheric Composition Instrument (ACX) science team.
