Doctoral Candidate in Public Health, Griffith University
Coming from a background in applied science I shifted towards public health and epidemiology before starting my PhD at Griffith in 2021. I'm interested in vulnerable populations, so I was excited to join a Griffith Climate Action project in targeting the health effects of extreme heat in older adults. Since joining, we have been successful in seeking support from Wellcome which has expanded the size of the team and scope of the project considerably.

PhD Candidate, Cardiff University
During my BSc in Zoology at Cardiff University, on a placement year I conducted a research project studying the habitat use of Samango monkeys in relation to their food availability, first sparking an interest in a career in research. For my dissertation I used genetics to assess the success of translocations of the critically endangered Bojer's skinks among the islands surrounding Mauritius, which was published in Conservation Genetics shortly after I graduated in 2017. In 2018 I started a Masters by Research at the University of Bristol looking at plant plasticity and roots under environmental stress, of two altitude-specific ragwort species found on Mt Etna, Sicily. I submitted this thesis and successfully defended it May 2020.
In October 2019 I returned to Cardiff to begin a PhD with the Cardiff University Otter Project and Molecular Ecology groups, using the newly sequenced otter reference genome and samples from the otter archive to study the demographic history of populations within the UK. During the pandemic I begun learning the skills required for population genomics, and initiated the collborations from which I have developed our range-wide whole genome dataset of 63 samples.
During my PhD I have spent time working at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute with one of my supervisors, Dr Klaus-Peter Koepfli, thanks to a Welsh Government Researcher Mobility Grant. I have also spent three months working at the Centre of Evolutionary Hologenomics, at the GLOBE Institute in Copenhagen with Prof Tom Gilbert learning about ancient and historic DNA lab and bioinformatic methods, thanks to an EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant.

Associate professor, Università del Piemonte Orientale
Sarah Gino is an expert witness of criminalistic sciences and forensic medicine for different law courts in Italy since 1994.
Her scientific research is divided in two main areas. The first one is related to the field of forensic genetics and personal identification. In particular, she is carrying out population studies for forensic applications, analyses involving the identification of biological fluids and tissues in single samples and in mixtures by using immunochromatographic tests and mRNA analysis, and DNA extraction from unusual tissues. Furthermore, she is currently starting some collaborative studies on the application of the microbiome analysis in forensic fields, and the application of SNP panel for personal identification.
Another line of research is related with the role of the forensic medicine and the forensic genetics for the management of the victims of gender violence, such as sexual abuse and maltreatment.

Lecturer in Psychology, University of Bristol
I am a Lecturer in Psychological Science at the University of Bristol, where I teach a popular course on the Science of Happiness and run interventions to improve student well-being. I am also a lecturer and researcher in animal cognition, running comparative studies to explore the evolution of intelligence.
I am broadly interested in the evolution of cognitive abilities in humans and non-human animals. Over the past decade I have studied the cognitive abilities of a range of animals, including Eurasian jays, rufous hummingbirds, Goffin cockatoos, and both human children and adults. The majority of my work has focussed on the New Caledonian crow, a remarkable species of bird which manufactures complex tools in the wild and performs exceptionally well on cognitive tasks in captivity.
In addition, since joining the University of Bristol in 2019, I have transitioned towards applied psychological research. This is a move I made largely in response to the student mental health crisis and a desire to tackle well-being concerns among young adults. Here, I am investigating the effects of positive psychology interventions on student well-being, delivered as part of the teaching curriculum.

I am interested in how buildings were the products of social norms and expectations and how, in return, they were agents that shaped everyday life. I am equally interested in the role of historic buildings in our contemporary society and have explored the impacts of climate change on our built heritage in Ireland, Scotland and Denmark. I have written and published on the important role heritage has in climate communication and climate action, and I continue to work on the topic in West Cork.

Assistant Professor of Anthropology, University of Delaware
Sarah A. Lacy is a biological anthropologist specializing in paleoanthropology and bioarchaeology. She received a BS in anthropology from Tulane University in 2008 and a PhD in anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis in 2014.
Lacy explores dental cavities, periodontal disease, and tooth loss in Neandertals and early modern humans across Europe and Southwest Asia and given the prevalence among recent humans. More than just oral health, she looks at how oral diseases also reveal information about diet, environment, disease susceptibility, and overall health in individuals and populations.
Her latest project explores the reliability of bony indicators of respiratory health, their presence in ancient populations, and how they might correlate with oral health. Smoke inhalation is as ancient as the domestication of fire, and Lacy is collaborating with colleagues in the fields of human biology and archaeology to identify the health impacts of close human relationships with fire over the last half a million years.
Lacy also publishes on issues of sex and gender in the Paleolithic as well as in the field of anthropology. Her research expertise translates to teaching interests in biological anthropology, human health, and human-environment interactions. She has a strong interest in supporting undergraduate research opportunities. She was interim director of the Office of Undergraduate Research at California State University, Dominguez Hills before joining the University of Delaware.
