BOARD: Garry Nolan (Executive Director, Stanford Pathology), Peter Skafish (Executive Director, anthropologist PhD UC Berkeley), Aneil Mallavarapu (Independent Board Member, scientist/entrepreneur PhD UCSF). ADVISORY BOARD: Eric Davis (AAWSAP DIRD contributor), Timothy Gallaudet (Rear Admiral US Navy Ret., House witness), Jeffrey Kripal (Rice University), Avi Loeb (Harvard, Galileo Project), Jacob Haqq Misra (Blue Marble Space Institute), Jacques Vallée (legendary UFO researcher). LEGAL COUNSEL: I. Charles McCullough III — former Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IC IG). COO: David Grusch (May 2023-present, whistleblower). Inaugural symposium November 17-18, 2023 at Stanford, hosted by Nolan Laboratory and Stanford School of Medicine. Sol Foundation co-founders named to U.S. Government's UAP Science Advisory Council. CRITICAL CONNECTIONS: Nolan (brain damage) + Grusch (crash retrieval) + Davis (AAWSAP DIRDs) + McCullough (IC IG who processed Grusch's PPD-19 filing) + Gallaudet (Navy). The Sol Foundation is the ACADEMIC ARM connecting all threads. McCullough as legal counsel = institutional link between whistleblower process and academic think tank. Davis on advisory board = link to Puthoff's AAWSAP network.
