SIMULATIONS Science Night Live: Invisibility continued from Page 1 Participating students are enrolled in Guiora's "Global Perspectives on Counter-Terrorism" course and have fields of study ranging from law to international affairs. The simulation is written by previous participants in another of Guiora's courses and is based on contemporary threats faced by the United States. The simulation also includes "shadow players," or experts from the local and international community who help imbue the simulation with accuracy, urgency and realism. "Shadow players have done this in their lives," Guiora said. Journalism students from Utah State University will also be participating, acting as reporters to cover the simulation's unfolding events in real time. "It's an opportunity to really engage with law students and ask hard questions," Guiora said. Guiora has conducted simulations across the globe during the past decade, including areas in Europe and Israel, where he served as an officer in the Israeli Defense Forces. In its first five years, about 100 students have participated, with more than 4o community experts and thousands of viewers, according to the College of Law's website. This year, the 22 students enrolled in Guiora's course have participated in smaller simulations throughout the semester.
