Dr. Michael Fausnaugh

Research Scientist, MIT

“Results from the [Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite] mission have the potential to transform humanity's understanding of the Earth and our place in the universe … It is exciting and humbling to be part of this research.”

Dr. Leslie Kay

Professor & Deputy Dean Psychology + Neuroscience, University of Chicago

“Here [at St. John's] we read the seminal papers to understand the steps of reasoning that led scientists to their conclusions. We learn along the way and appreciate the outcomes of debates ... not being attracted to being right but being attracted to finding the truth, it makes the mind better at science.”

Kit Linton

Vice President Cloud Networking, IBM (Retired)

“I’ve found IT to be a rare example of a true meritocracy—an environment where talented, earnest individuals inevitably rise to the top.”

Dr. Cynthia Keppel

Associate Director, Experimental Nuclear Physics; Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

“Scientists need to listen to their colleagues describe their theories, results, models—and try then to discern common patterns and larger truths from a multitude of puzzling data and voices. Sound like a seminar to you?”
