Wonderfest: Ask a Science Envoy: Optimization, Ecology, & Supernovae

Wonderfest Science Envoys are early-career researchers with special communication skills and aspirations. Following short talks on provocative modern science topics, these three Science Envoys will answer questions with insight and enthusiasm:

• UC Berkeley industrial engineer and operations researcher Caleb Bugg on "Engineering in an Apocalyptic World"
• Stanford Earth systems scientist Sami Li Chen on "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Give Me Some Ramps"
• UC Berkeley astrophysicist Abigail Polin on "Things that Go Boom in the Night: A Story of Type Ia Supernovae."
