Known for breaking through barriers and going undercover to reveal hidden societies, Cobb has captured fascinating glimpses of worlds such as Japan’s secret Geisha culture, and the cloistered lives of Saudi Arabian women. Her landmark story “21st Century Slavery” exposed a wide range of human trafficking, generating more reader accolades than any other story up to that point in the Geograph- ic’s history.

As a mechanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, Boykins worked on projects from Pathfinder and Mars Exploration Rovers to Ocean Surface Topography Mission for more than ten years. Currently, Boykins is supervisor of the mobility and remote sensing mast teams for the Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity. Boykins’ presentation will include dozens of breath-taking images of Mars as well as his personal reflections on the importance of success and failure in the process of scientific exploration. Friday, April 6 Between River and Rim: Hiking the Grand Canyon Presented by Kevin Fedarko & Pete McBride More people have walked on the moon than have accomplished this 750-mile hike. Photographer Pete McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko share photos and their story on a perilous adventure to hike through the Grand Canyon, In places, the canyon is 18 miles wide and more than a mile deep, and the adventurers quickly realize the enormity of the task ahead, enduring sprained ankles and hypernatremia mere days into the hike. But the endless scrambling and climbing in the extreme heat give way to staring in awe at the beauty of the Confluence, an area considered sacred by local tribes, where the waters of the Little Colorado River and the Colorado River meet—and where developers hope to build a tram to serve up to 10,000 tourists a day.
