Robert Lanza MD is one of the most respected scientists in the world-a U.S. News & World Report cover story called him a genius and renegade thinker even likening him to Einstein. Lanza is head of Astellas Global Regenerative Medicine Chief Scientific Officer of the Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine and adjunct professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He was recognized by TIME magazine in 2014 on its list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Prospect magazine named him one of the Top 50 World Thinkers in 2015. He is credited with several hundred publications and inventions and more than 30 scientific books including the definitive references in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine. A former Fulbright Scholar he studied with polio pioneer Jonas Salk and Nobel Laureates Gerald Edelman and Rodney Porter. He also worked closely (and coauthored a series of papers) with noted Harvard psychologist B. F. Skinner and heart transplant pioneer Christiaan Barnard. Dr. Lanza received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Pennsylvania where he was both a University Scholar and Benjamin Franklin Scholar. Lanza was part of the team that cloned the world's first human embryo as well as the first to successfully generate stem cells from adults using somatic-cell nuclear transfer (therapeutic cloning). In 2001 he was also the first to clone an endangered species and recently published the first-ever report of pluripotent stem cell use in humans. Matej Pavic is a physicist interested in foundations of theoretical physics. During his more than 40 years of research at the Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana Slovenia he often investigated the subjects that were not currently of wide interest but later became hot topics. For example in the 70s he studied higher dimensional Kaluza-Klein theories and in the 80s he proposed an early version of the braneworld scenario that was published among others in Classical and Quantum Gravity. Altogether Pavsic has published more than one hundred scientific papers and the book The Landscape of Theoretical Physics: A Global View. He is among the pioneering authors in topics such as mirror particles braneworld and Clifford space and has recently published important works explaining why negative energies in higher derivative theories are not problematic which is crucial for quantum gravity. Pavsic studied physics at the University of Ljubljana. After obtaining his master's degree in 1975 he spent a year at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Catania Italy where he collaborated with Erasmo Recami and Piero Caldirola. Under their supervision he completed his PhD thesis which he later defended at the University of Ljubljana. Pavsic has participated at many conferences as an invited speaker and regularly visited the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste. Bob Berman is the longtime science editor of the Old Farmer's Almanac and contributing editor of Astronomy magazine formerly with Discover from 1989 to 2006. He produces and narrates the weekly Strange Universe segment on WAMC Northeast Public Radio heard in eight states and has been a guest on such TV shows as Late Night with David Letterman. He taught physics and astronomy at New York's Marymount College in the 1990s and is the author of eight popular books. His newest is Zoom: How Everything Moves (2014 Little Brown).
