Jim Gates is a Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is currently exploring computer software codes hidden inside of superstring theory equations. In 2009, Jim was appointed to the Maryland State Board of Education and the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and in 2013 he was a recipient of the National Medal of Science.

The Moth and World Science Festival team up to bring you poignant, hilarious and unpredictable stories of science. Scientists, writers, artists and innovators take to the World Science Festival's stage to share their intensely personal tales of science colliding with life. No notes, no props, no pictures—just beautifully crafted, old-fashioned storytelling.
