The People of Chattacon 

All guests of honor, panelists, performers, presenters, artists or any other individual who may present in some way at Chattacon are booked in good faith and we have their guarantee that they will appear when we announce they will be at the convention. However, unforeseen events (illness, family emergencies or production work) may cause a particular guest to cancel.

Dr. Robert E. Hampson wants your brain! Don’t worry, he’s not a zombie, but he does know a few things about them and will keep them away from your brain… at least until he can use it for his own nefarious purposes!

Dr. Rob is a scientist, teacher and author who uses his PhD to study memory and diseases of the brain.  He write real science into hard-science & military SF and incorporates for SF influences on science into his teaching.  He is also a popular convention panelist who makes science – and science fiction – interesting and accessible to the public.
