*Bryant speaking to a seated audience at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, New York, on a Monday afternoon, May 23, 2016. In a dark suit with a red pocket square, he holds a microphone beside the Nasdaq podium while the screen behind him introduces Professor Calestous Juma of the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, with the cover of his book Innovation and Its Enemies: Why People Resist New Technologies. Calestous was Bryant's dear friend and collaborator on the book; the two co-presented that day in a Nasdaq broadcast to students of Columbia University and New York University, Bryant speaking on the Google Lunar XPRIZE and Calestous illuminating the cultural and historical forces that oppose frontier innovation.*
