David Flood
David Flood is a Software Engineer at Harvard University's Arts & Humanities Research Computing team, where he builds tools that support faculty research in the digital humanities. His path to software development was unconventional: while pursuing a PhD in Textual Criticism at the University of Edinburgh, he needed cutting-edge tools for his research on ancient manuscripts—and discovered those tools were libraries, not packaged software. So he taught himself Python to glue them together. What started as personal research scripts evolved into a desire to share solutions with colleagues, which led him down the rabbit hole of distribution, UI, and eventually web development. That journey produced Apatosaurus, a Django-based Virtual Research Environment for collaborative manuscript studies.
Before transitioning to full-time software engineering, David worked as Lead Research Fellow at the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, where he led digitization expeditions in the US, UK, and Germany—photographing Greek New Testament manuscripts. He remains active in text and manuscript scholarship. When he's not writing Python or wrangling manuscripts, he plays fingerstyle bluegrass guitar.

Sara Issaoun
Sara Issaoun is a NASA Einstein Fellow, observational astronomer at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and member of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration. Her research centers around the collection, calibration, and imaging of millimeter-wave radio observations of supermassive black holes. Supermassive black holes generate the highest energy processes in the known Universe, ejecting jets of plasma affecting galaxy environments on large scales, but their dynamics and emission mechanisms remain shrouded in mystery. She makes use of global networks of radio-telescopes to image and study the immediate surroundings of the supermassive black holes at the centers of our Galaxy and the galaxy M87. Sara is a leading contributor of the data analysis and imaging efforts that led to the first image of a black hole in 2019 and the first image of our Milky Way black hole in 2022.
