Sanjoy Som is the founder of Blue Marble Space. Trained in aerospace engineering, planetary geology and astrobiology, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the NASA Ames Research Center. Sanjoy is an eager traveler, particularly when ancient civilizations and/or natural landscapes are involved. [ more]
Jacob Haqq-Misra completed his undergraduate training in astrophysics and computer science and his graduate studies in meteorology and astrobiology. He is currently a postdoctoral scholar at the Rock Ethics Institute. He is the author of Planetary Messenger, and he also enjoys performing music as a percussionist. [ more]
Zach Adam is currently a graduate student studying geobiology and astrobiology at Montana State University. He is a 2011 Teachers Without Borders Fellow as part of the BMS Safety From Above Initiative, for which he is developing an engaging curriculum that fuses space sciences education with emergency education. He hopes to present this curriculum to the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs as a practical resource for educators all over the world. Zach's dream is to see practical space education curricula catalyze teachers and students into becoming agents of peace, progress, and stability within their communities. [ more]
Mark Claire. Trained in astronomy, atmospheric chemistry, astrobiology and science education policy, Mark is a NASA postdoctoral fellow currently working with the NASA Astrobiology Institute Virtual Planetary Laboratory (VPL). When not working, you might find Mark traveling, sea kayaking, or watching baseball.

Aaron Goldman, Ph.D. Aaron is trained in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, having received a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Washington. Prior to graduate school, he taught high school Biology, Physics, and Mathematics at the Princeton Science Academy. Besides his dedication to science and education, Aaron is a passionate and often semiprofessional musician.
Robert Hahn, M.Sc. Trained in Geology at Williams College with a focus on geomorphology, Robert completed his Masters' degree in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Washington where he researched weather models to reduce precipitation biases, particularly over complex topography. Currently Robert works to provide high-quality weather model forecasts accessible on mobile devices, ultimately hoping to provide weather information to those without land-based internet. Robert plays in a chamber music ensemble, enjoys outdoor recreation, and finds himself drawn to remote regions of the globe.

Julia DeMarines, M.Sc. Julia is an astrobiologist working at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and a recent graduate of the International Space University. She received her undergraduate degree in astronomy with a minor in geology from the University of Colorado. Her research focus has been primarily on the remote detection of biosignatures on extrasolar atmospheres and the social implications of Astrobiology. You might find Julia trail running, rock climbing, playing soccer, cooking up a storm and cracking jokes. [more] Dimitra Atri, Ph.D. Dimitra is currently a India Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) Visiting Fellow at the Department of High Energy Physics in the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India. He studies the interaction of high-energy particles of astrophysical origin with the terrestrial atmosphere and its biota. He is interested in exploring the interface between the physical and biological worlds, science education and public outreach projects [more].
Michael Busch, Ph.D. Michael studied physics and astrophysics at the University of
Minnesota, and planetary astronomy at Caltech. Specializing in
planetary radar and radio astronomy, he is currently a Jansky
postdoctoral fellow at UCLA.
Betul Arslan, Ph.D. Betül completed her graduate studies in Biomolecular Chemistry, now a postdoctoral fellow at Georgia Tech School of Biology where she combines microbiology and synthetic biology to understand the universality and the dynamics of evolution. Life finds a way, but is it always the same one? [more] Sara Imari Walker, Ph.D. Sara completed her graduate degree in physics and astronomy. She is currently a NASA Astrobiology postdoctoral fellow working at the BEYOND Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science at Arizona State University where she explores the physical underpinnings of how life first emerged.

Andrew Siemion Seth Baum, Ph.C., Seth is a graduate student in Geography at Pennsylvania State University and a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions at Columbia University. A former engineer, Seth studies applied ethics, environmental policy, and risk analysis. His core aim is to reduce the risk of human extinction so that Earth-originating civilization can colonize space before Earth becomes uninhabitable. [ more] Tony Barrett, Ph.D. Tony holds a Ph.D. in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University, and also was a postdoctoral research associate at the National Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE) at the University of Southern California. He is currently a consultant with ABS Consulting in Arlington, Virginia. His work includes risk assessment, and scenario consequence modeling. [more]
