Andrei Nefiodov graduated from Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) State University (Faculty of Physics, Theoretical Physics Department) in 1988 and earned his PhD in theoretical physics from St. Petersburg State University in 1991. Since 1992, he has been working in the Theoretical Physics Division at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute. The field of research included the study of structure and dynamics of highly charged ions, both within the framework of QED theory and beyond it, in particular, taking into account the nuclear and weak interactions. In 1997-1998 Andrei was a Honorary Research Fellow by The Royal Society at the University College London in the UK. In 2001-2002 he was Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Dresden University of Technology in Germany. In 2004 Andrei habilitated in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Together with Dr. Vladimir Ovsyannikov he suggested novel method for the production of highly charged ions, which was realized in ion sources of the next generation (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Magnetic_Focus_Ion_Source ). Since 2011 he joined Prof. Victor Gorshkov and Dr. Anastassia Makarieva in development of the condensational theory of hurricanes, which represents the physical mechanism of biotic pump theory (see https://bioticregulation.ru/pubs ). Recent activity is focused on the natural ecosystem's control of the water cycle and moisture transport. Andrei Nefiodov has published total more than 70 refereed articles in scientific journals.

D. in American Diplomatic History from Princeton University. Before joining the faculty of Boston University in 1998, he taught at West Point and at Johns Hopkins University.

Fisherman-turned-filmmaker Andrew Buckley is the foremost authority on the Columbia Expedition. He has been on the trail of the first American voyage around the world and its commander, John Kendrick, since 1995 beginning with research for his novel The Bostoner. In 2008, Buckley turned to documentary film to tell the story, creating Hit and Run History. Since then, Buckley and HRH have been awarded 13 Massachusetts Cultural Council Grants, and the first-ever Social Media Outreach Grant by the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities. Because of the epic sweep of the Columbia Expedition, HRH developed an episodic approach, mixing the best elements of history, travel and reality television. Their method is to get out to the locations where microhistory occurred. HRH visits the places where historical figures lived and talk to local historians who give their personal insights. The film crew also gets involved in the telling of the story, with a focus on the “making of” the documentary. Buckley studied Political Science at American University and the University of Massachusetts at Boston, graduating with a B.A. He was Selectman for the Town of Chatham, and now writes op-ed for the independent Cape Cod Chronicle and online on Cape Cod Today. He is a USCG-licensed Master Mariner, NAUI diver, and Massachusetts commercial fishermen. Buckley lives on his native Cape Cod with his daughter, Sofie.

Lightweight sculler **Andrew Campbell Jr**, from the USA, earned his first international medal in 2010 – a World Championship bronze in the junior men’s single sculls. The following year, he added yet another bronze to his new collection, this time in the under-23 lightweight men’s single sculls. In 2012, he accomplished the same feat, adding a third World Championship bronze medal to his growing collection, but that year at the senior level at just 20 years of age. He has since become an under-23 World Champion twice in the lightweight single. He is set to represent the United States in the Men's Lightweight Double Scull at the upcoming 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Braz
