How Science Advisors Make Sci-Fi Better @ SDCC

Time loops, multiverses, and pandas who know kung fu may seem unrealistic, but there are scientists involved in bringing those examples to life on-screen. Science advisors Erin Macdonald (current Star Trek TV shows), Clifford Johnson (Avengers: Endgame, Dark Matter), Stuart Sumida (Kung Fu Panda 4, His Dark Materials), Elizabeth Rega (Strange World, Lilo & Stitch), and Ronald Coleman (Joe Ledger book series) work with the creatives behind your favorite TV shows, movies, video games, and books to add a dose of reality to the magic of science fiction and fantasy storytelling. Learn about the questions they get asked and how they help writers, actors, directors, and designers bring just the right amount of facts to your favorite fiction. Moderated by Melissa Truth Miller (Skywalking Network Star Warsologies!) Grand 10 & 11, Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina
