Comments on Everett K Gibson’s Presentations:
High Speed Computer Forum, Houston April 5, 2011:

Patti Yamakido, Los Altos, CA
Dr. Everett Gibson’s talk on “The Exploration of Mars and the Search for Life” is truly amazing. He kept the audience spellbound as he spoke about the discovery, the scientific validation processes, the politics, and the possibility of life beyond earth. His focus and passion for science is captivating and contagious!

Steve Conway, Research Vice Present, High Performance Computing, IDC Corporation
Your talk was the hit of our conference, plain and simple. That includes the scientific information and the lively anecdotes surrounding it. The next day, people were still talking with excitement about your presentation and admiring the passion and dedication that have driven your career. We would certainly be happy to keep an eye out for other conferences that might want to invite an exciting speaker like you to present.

Presentation to JSC Employees regarding “Lunar Sample Heist-The True Story”, May 5, 2011

“This was an excellent presentation. Dr. Gibson was a delight to listen to.”

“It was a fantastic talk. I’m glad that someone at NASA wants to get out the facts ahead of the book.”

“Excellent speech.”

“Loved it! I wish NOVA would pick this up & tell the real story. Way to go Ev.”

“Outstanding presentation with great graphics! This presentation needs to be given to every science teacher in the country! Excellent interaction with audience and responses during Q & A were crystal clear.”

“Great Presentation! The media needs to hear the NASA side of the story as told by Dr. Gibson”

The Mars Society Convention, Grapevine, TX August 4, 2011

“The best presentation I have ever heard regarding the search for life on Mars. Dr. Gibson described the data, the criticism of the data and he showed the flaws in the criticism directed toward the data. His research team has made a major contribution to the search for biogenic activity-i.e. life on Mars. A wonderful and clear presentation!” Homer Hickham

“One of the best summaries of the search for life on Mars I have ever heard” Paul Davies, Director, Origins Center, Arizona State University.

75th Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society, Greenwich, UK,
August 8-12, 2011

Grenville Turner, FRS, Leonard Medallist, Professor Emeritus, Manchester University, UK
“Everett Gibson gave the best presentation of the entire meeting. His talk on the presence of organic matter in the Nakhla meteorite was convincing and the graphics were superb.”

Comment from Daniel S. Goldin, Administrator of NASA, May 21, 1998, Presentation at Planetfest, Pasadena, CA

“Your intensity of focus, spirit and commitment to the scientific truth and excellence set a high standard for all of us. You have not yet proven your point beyond a shadow of a doubt yet, but you appear headed in the right direction. I love what you are attempting to do!”
