Star Trek's Greatest Biology Hits and Near-Misses with Mohamed Noor
Since the beginning, Star Trek has always tried to explain the science underlying what's depicted. Come join biology Professor Mohamed Noor as he goes over some examples of the "greatest hits" and "near misses" on the biology that appears in the franchise -- from TOS Khan's history of selective breeding to panspermia and introns in TNG to evolving into salamanders at warp 10 in Voyager to horizontal gene transfer and mitochondrial DNA in Discovery. Attendees may be surprised to learn that even episodes about which people laugh have at least some spot-on real scientific elements. Come join for lots of science and lots of fun!
Mohamed Noor is professor of biology and Dean of Natural Sciences at Duke University, along with being a contracted science consultant for the Star Trek universe. He merges his passions by teaching biology concepts using depictions from Star Trek in the classroom, in writings, in online videos, and in-person presentations at conventions.
Highlighting the Sci-Fi Genre in Current Film and TV
Join noted genre journalist, reporter and Intellectual Property/Content Manager Kit Bowen and Creation Co-CEO Adam Malin for a spirited discussion and discourse on the state of the sci-fi genre on television and in films. Special guests and audience participation will make this a fun and engaging segment.
NO MINIMUM BID AUCTIONS
FIVE fast paced fun-filled "no minimum" bid auctions are set for 2022! Come and get ready to bid on rare Star Trek and other amazing collectibles.
DeFOREST KELLEY THEATRE
The DeForest Kelley Theatre will have additional programming and panels more attuned to science and behind the scenes. It is also where we do the no-minimum bid auctions, contests, special guest star appearances, and surprises!
