Esther Dyson (EDventure)
Esther needs no introduction to the technology crowd, given her role as founding chairman of ICANN, her release 1.0 Newsletter and her PC forum conferences. What you may not know is that Esther was an early investor in Medscape, and is actively involved in health care, both as an investor–Medstory (now part of Microsoft), PatientslikeMe, 23andme, ReliefInSite and many more–and by opening up her own genome and health records as part of George Church’s Personal Genome. On a somewhat different note, Esther’s most recent adventure was undergoing a five-month stint training as a cosmonaut training in Russia and Kazakhstan as a back up to space tourist Charles Simonyi.
