Is Glamour an Aesthetic Property of Persons only?: Can AI recognize glamor or become glamorous? Prof. Carol Gould is a Professor of Philosophy at Florida Atlantic University, where she teaches primarily Aesthetics, Philosophy of Psychiatry, and Ancient Greek Philosophy, areas in which she publishes widely. Many of her recent publications concern the relation between aesthetics, ethics, and personhood. She is currently completing a book on True Glamour, an unexplored topic in philosophy that stands at the intersection of Aesthetics, Ethics, and Philosophy of Psychiatry.

Toward Molecular Genetic Dissection of Neural Circuits For Emotional and Motivational Behaviors, Identification of a brain center whose activity discriminates a choice behavior in zebrafish, Identification of environmental stressors and validation of light preference as a measure of anxiety in larval zebrafish, and Heritable natural variation of an anxiety-like behavior in larval zebrafish Prof. Su Guo is a Professor of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at University of California, San Francisco. Her research is on understanding how the brain works: connecting molecules to systems.

Dirac and Majorana neutrino signatures of primordial black holes, Pre-supernova neutrinos: directional sensitivity and prospects for progenitor identification, and A concordance scenario for the observation of a neutrino from a Tidal Disruption Event. Professor. Cecilia Lunardini is professor of physics at Arizona State University. One of her primary research focus is Neutrinos

A Motivation-Decision Model of Pain: The Role of Opioids, Understanding opioid reward, How expectations influence pain, and the role of placebo effect in clinical trial design for CNS diseases. Prof. Howard Fields is Professor Emeritus, Neurology at UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences. He was a founder of the UCSF pain management center and has made major contributions to understanding and treating neuropathic pain.

The relationship between quarks and hadrons, Heavy-Quark QCD Exotica, and Exotics in the Dynamical Diquark Model Prof. Richard Lebed is Professor of Physics at Arizona State University.  His research involves studying the properties of, and interactions between, particles at the most elementary level.

Black hole variability and the star formation-AGN connection, Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei, A Large Population of Luminous Active Galactic Nuclei Lacking X-ray Detections, and Cosmic evolution of supermassive black holes Ryan Hickox is a Professor of Astronomy at Dartmouth College, studying supermassive black holes in galaxies and how they grow over cosmic time. He is currently the Chair of NASA's Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group, and has been engaged in the planning of multiple future NASA space observatories.

Challenges and Advances in Modeling of the Solar Atmosphere, The Coronal Global Evolutionary Model, Active Region Irradiance during Quiescent Periods, and Inferring depth-dependent plasma motions from surface observations using the DeepVel neural network Prof. Maria Kazachenko is an assistant professor of Astrophysical & Planetary Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder and the National Solar Observatory (NSO). Her research interests range from the storage of magnetic energy in solar active regions, to the release of that energy in solar flares with an emphasis of comparison and integration of observations with simulations.

Tackling the pandemic globally, the challenges for developing countries and risk management for future pandemics Prof Erik Berglöf is professor of economics at the London School of Economics. He is also the Chief Economist of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Beijing-based multilateral development bank established in 2016 with a mission to improve social and economic outcomes in Asia.
