Led by Dr. Carolyn Sealfon, a scientist with a background in Bayesian cosmology. She seeks to collaboratively apply beautiful and challenging mathematics to practical problems. Education integrates her longtime passions of problem-solving through science and connecting people through performing arts.

Co-Presenter, Dr. Nicholas Gross: With a Ph.D. in physics, for over 2 decades Nick has been working on science education project at all levels, including those projects for an audience new to science.

Co-Presenter, Dr. Simone Hyater-Adams: Dr. Simone Hyater-Adams is a physicist, artist, educator, and researcher with a drive for supporting Black and Brown STEM students and finding creative ways to combine her passions for both science and art. Her PER research focuses on understanding the ways physicists of color and LGBTQIA+ physicists identify with the physics community. Additionally, she runs a STEM and Arts Education consulting firm that works with universities and non-profits on research projects and educational programming at the intersection of STEM and Art.
