Barbara Natterson-Horowitz

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, M.D., is a cardiologist and psychiatrist who turns to the natural world for insights into human health and development. Faculty in the Harvard-MIT HST Program, Harvard’s Department of Human Evolutionary Biology and Professor of Medicine at UCLA, she studies a diverse range of animals and disorders from congestive heart failure in okapi, bats and wallabies, to compulsive disorders in birds, cats and horses. She is the co-author of NYT bestseller, Zoobiquity, which was a Finalist in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)’s Excellence in Science Books Award, a Smithsonian Top Book of 2012, a Discover Magazine Best Book of 2012, and the China Times Best Book of 2012. Zoobiquity has been translated into ten languages and has been a common read at universities across the country. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz was the invited keynote speaker at the 2019 Nobel Conference in Stockholm, Sweden.

Frederic Schuller

Frederic Schuller is a mathematical physicist known for his work on the geometric foundations of physics and advanced theoretical frameworks. He is widely recognized for his exceptional lecture series on differential geometry and general relativity, which have helped thousands of students worldwide grasp complex mathematical concepts. His teaching combines deep rigor with clarity, making advanced physics more accessible to motivated learners.

Nim Tottenham

Professor Nim Tottenham is a developmental neuroscientist and professor of psychology at Columbia University, where she leads the Developmental Affective Neuroscience Laboratory. Her research focuses on changes in amygdala-prefrontal cortex circuitry across childhood and adolescence and the effect of early experiences on how these circuits develop. Professor Tottenham is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and of the Society for Experimental Psychologists and has received several prestigious awards for her contributions to developmental neuroscience, including the National Academy of Sciences Troland Research Award. One of her most cited works is the NimStim set of facial expressions, consisting of 672 photographs of various facial expressions, which is used widely in research on working memory, self-regulation, and clinical disorders. Her scientific contributions in developmental neuroscience have also been recognized by the American Psychological Association’s Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology, the Flux Award, and the American Psychosomatic Society.

Stephen Wolfram

Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and the Wolfram Language; the originator of the Wolfram Physics Project; and the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research. Over the course of more than four decades, he has been a pioneer in the development and application of computational thinking—and has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions and innovations in science, technology and business. Wolfram has been involved with education for many years, founding the Wolfram Summer School in 2003, and in 2015 publishing An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language to introduce young students and others to modern computational thinking. In 2020, building on ideas developed over the course of nearly thirty years, Wolfram announced breakthroughs in finding a fundamental theory of physics, and launched the Wolfram Physics Project to stimulate broad involvement in this ambitious and historic project. Wolfram has been president and CEO of Wolfram Research since its founding in 1987. In addition to his corporate leadership, Wolfram is deeply involved in the development of the company's technology, personally overseeing the functional design of the company's core products on a daily basis, and constantly introducing new ideas and directions. His most recent and notable books include A Project to Find the Fundamental Theory of Physics, Adventurers of a Computational Explorer, A New Kind of Science, and Idea Makers: Personal Perspectives on the Lives & Ideas of Some Notable People.
