I. Sadaf Farooqi
Wellcome Principal Research Fellow and Professor of Metabolism and Medicine, University of Cambridge
My team studies the molecular and physiological pathways involved in the regulation of human appetite and body weight and their disruption in obesity. Some of the molecular pathways involved in regulating weight also regulate blood pressure and lipid metabolism, and affect an individual's risk of cardiovascular diseases.
One of the links between obesity and cardiovascular disease is leptin. We have identified mutations in leptin gene using candidate gene approach in patients with severe, early onset obesity, and have demonstrated that leptin contributes to hypertension in obese individuals. These results suggest that pharmacological approaches that modulate leptin’s effects on cells could represent a useful therapeutic strategy for the treatment of obesity-associated hypertension and might help prevent a subset of obesity-associated cardiovascular disease.

Iain Black
Associate Professor in Marketing, Heriot-Watt University
I joined Heriot Watt as a Reader from the University of Edinburgh and before that held the post of senior lecturer at University of Sydney. My main interests revolve around sustainability. I am the Sustainable Consumption theme leader for the International Sustainable Development Research Society and my research focusses on anti-consumption, consumer’s responses to scarcity and how consumers dispose of goods. This has led to policy work exploring ways to rebalance dysfunctional relationships with materialistic consumption. http://allofusfirst.org/library/from-i-to-we-changing-the-narrative-in-scotlands-relationship-with-consumption/
Starting with an interest in how the Scottish Green party were influencing the Scottish Independence referendum, I have spent the last 4 years studying volunteer participation in this event and the marketing practices deployed, including the use of Hope vs Fear appeals. As part of this, I conducted what is the most comprehensive survey of the Yes volunteers to date, the findings of which, published by CommonWeal “available via http://allofusfirst.org/library/the-yes-volunteers-capturing-the-biggest-grassroots-campaign-in-scotlands-history
This work has been widely reported in new media outlets such as Bella Caledonia, Common Space and Independence live and the Scottish Independence podcast. It is also making its way through academic journal review processes.

Iain Macdonald
My research interests are centred on how heritage (traditional handcrafts) and digital practices fuse to form hybrid methods in moving image design. Practice-led research into my own moving image work formed the core of my doctorate research. My work in education has also informed my pedagogic research into internationalisation, the moving image and lens-based media, forming an argument for future directions in art and design practice.

Iain Richards
Senior Lecturer, Animal Life, University of Central Lancashire
Iain is an innovative, enquiring veterinarian who combines 30 years’ clinical experience of all major species into a wider understanding of how ecology and ecosystem health affect animal and human epidemiology.
Iain will be involved in the creation of and teaching within the new veterinary school, bringing his wide experience of clinical practice and business skills into the syllabus
Iain has spent most of his working life as a mixed species practitioner, mostly in the north of England. He has progressed from assistant to sole owner, partner and finally as director of a two-site multi vet practice. During that time he worked intensively in the Foot and Mouth outbreak of 2001 gaining insight into disease control at an epidemic level. His practice was a founding member of XLVets UK and Iain later served on the board of Directors.
From 2011, he left clinical practice and combined househusband and childcare duties with occasional locum work, that included stints on the Isle of Mull and the island of St Kitts. From 2013-2106 he studied for and gained a Masters in Conservation Medicine through Edinburgh University, which rekindled a longstanding interest in ecology. This now provides his major area of interest in how the ecology of parasites needs to be understood in order to maintain sustainable control.

Ian Anderson
Ph.D. Student in Social Psychology, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
I study how beliefs, decisions, and behaviors are influenced by social media and technology, primarily through the lens of habits.
I am currently attending USC to acquire my PhD in Social Psychology, with a focus on media habits. I research the impact of social media on human behavior, while also seeking to understand how technology shapes the spread and adoption of behaviors and ideas across individuals and/or groups.
My research background includes a research masters degree from INSEAD in marketing science with a focus on consumer behavior. My expertise in Social Media comes from nearly 5 years of dedicated research and work on digital strategy with Temin and Company in New York City (some while part-time as a student at Swarthmore College) as well as advertising experience at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Research Associate work at Columbia University's business school. I graduated from Swarthmore College in 2013, where I completed an Honors Major in Political Science and Major/Honors Minor in Economics. This included extensive coursework in mathematics, philosophy, psychology, political and economic theory, and english literature.

In 2008 Ian was promoted to Professor, a culmination of establishing the Centre for Forensic Science in 2000 and substantive and outstanding contributions nationally and internationally in each of the areas of research, teaching and service. During this period Ian sustained a high level of research and scholarship for over a decade and has established himself as a leading scholar in the field of forensic entomology. This is documented through a portfolio of peer-reviewed journal and industry publications, a succession of ARC and other research and consultancy project grants, attracting and successfully supervising many postgraduate thesis candidates and invitations to teach law enforcement agencies globally. As a consequence of research conducted at the University of Tennessee’s (UT) Anthropological Facility in Knoxville, Ian was part of the teaching faculty with the FBI, and each year since 2003 until 2014 he has been an instructor for the FBI Evidence Response Team in the Human Remains Recovery School. Ian is also affiliated with the new Anthropological Facility at Oakridge (TN) operated by the Forensic Academy (UT). As well he has collaboration with the largest and more recently established Forensic Anthropology Research Facility at Texas State University at San Marcos. Ian became a Professor with The Boston University Medical School in 2015 and taught a unit of forensic entomology into their Master of Forensic Anthropology Course as well as supervising Master degree students. Ian is a Visiting Professor at Lincoln University, UK and prior to Brexit he was teaching annually into the Erasmus Mundus (EM) Master of Forensic Science Course.

Ian Shiels
Postgraduate Researcher, Institute for Medieval Studies, University of Leeds
I am a Postgraduate Researcher at the Institute for Medieval Studies at Leeds University. I am a doctoral candidate in my third and final year, and my thesis is entitled Ridiculae Fabulae: Story and History in the Poetry of the Exeter Book. It is about the narratives behind the poems Wulf and Eadwacer, the Old English Elegies, Deor and Widsith, investigating the stories – often historical – which lie behind them and which Anglo-Saxon audiences would have known but critics today mostly do not bother about.
My area of study is medieval secular (often called “heroic”) poetry in Old English, Old Norse and Old High German, and the Icelandic family sagas. I am particularly interested in understanding the cultures and societies which produced, consumed (and criticised or ignored) this literature, the ideas and beliefs which informed it, and the means by which it was transmitted. The article I discuss in The Conversation is a good example of my theme and method.
