In 2012 he founded Science Gallery International (www.sciencegallery.org) with the goal of bringing Science Gallery experiences to a global audience, with Science Gallery locations now open or in development in London, Melbourne, Bangalore, Atlanta, Monterey, Rotterdam and Berlin. Prior to founding Science Gallery, Michael John was Lecturer in Science, Technology and Society at Stanford University and has held postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University, Stanford University and MIT.

He has written numerous books on topics ranging from Buckminster Fuller’s architecture to seventeenth century science and articles and reviews in journals including Nature, Science, Nature Medicine, and Leonardo. His recent books include The Scientific Counter-Revolution: The Jesuits and the Invention of Modern Science (Bloomsbury Academic, 2020) and Idea Colliders: The Future of Science Museums (MIT Press in 2020). He sits on several Boards including Rachel Carson Center, Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence and the Executive Board of the Munich Science Communication Lab and is an Expert Adviser to the European Commission (JRC).

Ana Harmon is a dance and movement advocate. She divides her time between Gaga teaching engagements and supporting the Gaga organization’s various artistic and educational programs across the globe. She has been a Visiting Artist at Harvard since 2022, and was a faculty member at the Boston Conservatory from 2021 – 2025. Now more than ever, she is committed to dancing every day and sharing the healing power of movement.

Dr. Klerman’s efforts are concentrated in clinical and biomathematical research and teaching at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), and Harvard Medical School (HMS). Her areas of research are (i) the application of circadian and sleep research principles to normal and pathophysiologic states and (ii) mathematical analysis and modeling of human circadian, sleep, and neurobehavioral mood and performance rhythms. Her teaching and mentoring work in patient-oriented research have been recognized nationally and internationally. She received her undergraduate degree from MIT, and MD and PhD degrees from Harvard University. She is currently a Professor of Neurology at HMS, a Research Investigator at MGH within the Department of Neurology, and a Physician within the Division of Sleep Medicine at the BWH.

Marilyne Andersen is a Full Professor of Sustainable Construction Technologies and heads the Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID) that she launched in the Fall of 2010. Since April 2025, she is also the Director General of the GESDA foundation (Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator), whose mission is to anticipate emerging scientific discoveries and translate them into concrete actions for the benefit of society by engaging proactively with policymakers and diplomats.

She was Dean of the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) at EPFL from 2013 to 2018 and the Academic Director of the Smart Living Lab in Fribourg from 2018 to 2024. She also co-leads the Student Kreativity and Innovation Laboratory (SKIL) at ENAC since its launch in 2018. Before joining EPFL as a faculty, she was an Assistant Professor then Associate Professor tenure-track in the Building Technology Group of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning and the Head of the MIT Daylighting Lab that she founded in 2004. She has also been Invited Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design in 2019.

Marilyne Andersen owns a Master of Science in Physics and specialized in daylighting through her PhD in Building Physics at EPFL in the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO) and as a Visiting Scholar in the Building Technologies Department of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.

Her research lies at the interface between science, engineering and architectural design with a dedicated emphasis on the impact of daylight on building occupants. Focused on questions of comfort, perception and health and their implications on energy considerations, these research efforts aim towards a deeper integration of the design process with daylighting performance and indoor comfort, by reaching out to various fields of science, from chronobiology and neuroscience to psychophysics and computer graphics. She is leveraging this research in practice through OCULIGHT dynamics, a startup company she co-founded, which offers specialized consulting services on daylight performance and its psycho-physiological effects on building occupants.

Dr. Avalon Owens is a research fellow at the Rowland Institute at Harvard, where her group works to document the myriad ways in which artificial light at night affects nocturnal flora and fauna (mostly insects). Avalon has spent close to a decade studying how artificial light threatens fireflies and what “firefly friendly” lighting practices can best protect them. Fireflies are small, but they can cast a long shadow by serving as flagship species that inspire dark sky conservation.

At the Rowland Institute at Harvard, Avalon is currently working to understand the ecological costs and evolutionary consequences of moth flight-to-light behavior. Moths that get stuck swirling around porch lights are not able to find mates or visit flowers—in this way, light pollution might threaten both our food systems and the future of life on earth. Visit owenslab.org to view her publications and learn more about her ongoing projects.

Avalon Owens received her Ph.D. in Biology from Tufts University in 2022. She also holds a B.A. in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University and an M.S. in Entomology from National Taiwan University. She is committed to turning scientific recommendations into real world results through public outreach and policy advocacy. As part of these efforts, she frequently collaborates both with DarkSky International and the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.

Adam Haar Horowitz is the CEO of DUST, a dream engineering company. He received his PhD from MIT, working between the MIT Media Lab and the Harvard Medical School Center for Sleep and Cognition. He works to translate brain science into experiences and interventions, with a focus on sleep and dreams. He is a co-inventor of the Dormio device and Targeted Dream Incubation technique, which help people alter their dreams. Currently, he is building tools for nightmare treatment with psychiatrists at the US Dept of Veterans Affairs, co-organizing MIT’s Dream Engineering Symposium focused on scientific ethics, and designing Dream Hotel rooms with artist Carsten Höller. Adam’s work has been presented in Nature, Science, National Academy of Sciences, Harper’s, Cannes, and the World Economic Forum.
