Why Can't We Find a Cure for Cancer?

Iraís Ortiz-Caraveo

Biomedical Engineering Masters student at the University of New Mexico currently working in the Department of Pathology for the UNM School of Medicine as a research assistant (recently published YAY). 1^st generation high school and college student

"Why does it takes so long to find treatments and why do those treatments tend to fail? I’ve noticed that most people are pretty shocked to learn that we are quite limited (time, manpower, resources) in the ways we can conduct research surrounding this topic. Hollywood has created the illusion that answering scientific questions is a smooth ride and that scientists have all the tools to get answers, when in reality we don’t. But, that does not mean that we don’t try." -Iraís

The Culinary World of Food Gels

Anthony & Jason Salvagno

Anthony, Associate Director of X Studio at Explora;
Jason, Banquet Chef at White Oaks Conservatory near Jacksonville, Florida.

Former food truck brothers of S'wich It Up fame, Jason and Anthony Salvagno, are back to deliver all the hard-hitting and faced-paced action from the culinary world of food gels. Have you ever removed some chicken soup from the fridge and saw a solid layer on top of your leftovers? It turns out there are sugars in plants and proteins in animals that can create a gelatin-like structure. Food gels have been around a long time and are used in desserts, entrees, appetizers, and so much more. Learn the science that makes this possible and some simple recipes to turn dinner into a 5-star meal.

Space Nuclear Power & Propulsion

Joseph A. Sholtis, Jr.

Lt. Col, USAF (Retired) 

This presentation will address, using figures & photos, the notable 60-year history of the development & use of nuclear systems for power, heating, and propulsion in space - principally by the U.S., but also briefly by the former Soviet Union & Russia. U.S. space nuclear systems, as well as nuclear-powered/heated space missions flown, will be illustrated & described together with major discoveries gleaned, and future nuclear systems, along with their potential space applications, will be briefly depicted and addressed.
