Featuring Dr. Elaine Seasly, NASA deputy planetary protection officer; Supervisory Special Agent Edward You, fBI biodefense countermeasures program manager; Dr. Jessica Petrillo, State Department senior health security officer; Dr. Gregory Bernard, Homeland Security innovation officer and former Domestic Nuclear Detection Office assistant director; and Dr. Whit Anderson, deputy director, NOAA Geophysical Dynamics Lab. The panel will discuss such existential risks as extreme weather, emerging biological threats and technologies, nuclear terrorism, and threats from space and beyond and engage the audience in their questions about where the real risks to our planet and society may lie and how this often translates into popular fiction.
