 Jon
Lomberg - Jon Lomberg is one of
the world's most distinguished artists inspired by astronomy. He
specializes in designing and executing visual presentations about
astronomy in all media, including exhibit design, film and television,
computer graphic, print and electronic media. In addition to creating
his own art, he has managed and led teams of artists and technicians on
major projects using sophisticated image technology. Film fans will
appreciate his work as Astronomical Visual Consultant on the Jodie
Foster film Contact. Jon Lomberg was the Project Director for a
DVD called Visions of Mars, produced by
The Planetary Society. It
is intended as a gift for any future human explorers of the Red Planet
who find the ancient spacecraft on the Martian surface centuries from
now. Lomberg served as Editor-in-Chief for this project which documents
humanity's long fascination with Mars as reflected in science fiction
stories, artwork, and popular culture. Recently updated, the Visions of
Mars DVD landed safely near the Martian north pole on May 25, 2008. From

 Bobby
Cerini - Science communication professional
Bobby Cerini has been scouring the globe to wrap her head around
fame and science. Exploring the ideas that brought scientists
international recognition and what impact success and notoriety had on
the work and the careers of those in the public arena, Bobby has filmed
interviews with hundreds of names we know (and many we don't, but
should). Bobby shares clips from these interviews with the SCINEMA
audience and talks about her findings.
