Professor at the School of Microbiology, University College Cork
Jens Walter serves as the Professor of Ecology, Food, and the Microbiome at Unviersity College Cork and the APC Microbiome Ireland. His expertise lies at the interface of evolutionary ecology of the gut microbiome and human nutrition. His research focuses on the evolutionary and ecological processes that have shaped host-microbiome symbiosis and the translation of basic microbiome science into therapeutic and nutritional strategies. Dr. Walter and his collaborators have pioneered the application of ecological theory to elucidate ecological and nutritional factors that shape gut microbiomes and have achieved targeted modulations of microbiomes via dietary strategies and live microbes. Prof. Walter has published >150 peer-reviewed publications and is a ‘highly cited researcher’ according to the analytics company Clarivate.
Prof. Walter’s research has been featured on six occasions in the research highlights of Nature and Nature Reviews journals, and he has participated in several invitation-only workshops and think-tanks of the NIH, CIFAR (Canadian-based global organization that convenes extraordinary minds to address the most important questions facing science and humanity; https://www.cifar.ca/) and ILSI to discuss imminent issues of the microbiome field. He has led several provocative science commentaries with other opinion leaders that inter alia challenged current paradigms in the microbiome field that required critical assessment, such as the exaggeration of causal claims (Cell, 2020, 180:221-232), the definition of prebiotics (Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2015, 12:303-10), use of ‘human microbiota-associated mice’ (Cell Host and Microbe 2016, 19:575-578), and the ‘prenatal in utero microbiome’ (Microbiome 2017, 5(1):48 and Microbiome 2021, 9(1):5).

Professor of Palaeobiology, University of Leicester
I received my undergraduate degree (BSc) in Geology (1994) as well as his Master degree in Geology and Paleontology (1996) from Freie Universität Berlin (Germany). In 2000 I obtained my PhD degree (Magna Cum Laude) from Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel (Germany). I have worked in four countries as postdoc and Assistant Professor before joining Leicester as Professor in 2018. I have been awarded over five million Euro in funding for research projects in the UK Germany Australia and the Netherlands committed to carrying out cutting-edge research using quantitative field and laboratory methods for sedimentological paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological reconstructions of coral reef and island systems as well as land-ocean coupling mechanisms in the Indian Ocean region the tropical Atlantic and Southeast Asia.
My research involves the geochemical study of marine biological (massive corals) and sedimentary archives from the tropical oceans as recorders of environmental and climate change over the past 300 years and during the Holocene. For most of my career I have worked on Indian Ocean coral and sediment records. This work is motivated by the need to produce reliable long-term baseline data of sea surface temperature ocean currents and the hydrological cycle over the tropical/subtropical oceans and how they shape patterns of biodiversity in our oceans and adjacent coasts. My current aspiration is to establish an international research group focussed on tropical paleoclimate research around flagship research areas where climate variability and change is of global and regional significance with the impetus on gaining more robust research output for the benefit of society. A Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship, a NERC Discovery Grant and a German DFG research grant awarded between 2018 and 2021 support my current Professorship at the University of Leicester.

T.R. Ashworth Associate Professor in Sociology, The University of Melbourne
Jens O. Zinn is T.R. Ashworth Associate Professor of Sociology in the School of Social and Political Sciences. Before he joined the University of Melbourne in 2009, he worked at the Social Contexts and Responses to Risk priority Network (SCARR) in the UK (2003-8), and the collaborative research centres Reflexive Modernisation in Munich (1999-2002) and Status Passages and Risks in the Life Course in Bremen (1995-99).
Jens founded several international research networks on the Sociology of Risk and Uncertainty (SoRU) with the European Sociological Association (RN22, 2005) and the International Sociological Association (TG04, 2006). In 2015 he was awarded the prestigious Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for his scholarly achievements.
In 2023-24 he pursued his theoretical work on a Fellowship at the Institute of Advanced Studies/Hanse Wissenschaftskolleg in Delmenhorst/Germany. Since 2024 he is heading an interdisciplinary study group Learning about Risk and Crisis at the institute.
His research is driven by the question why social engagement with risky uncertainties seems often unreasonable and ignorant of available knowledge. However, even when knowledge is acknowledged and uncontested it remains often difficult to agree on best solutions. With growing complexity and volatility of knowledge, it becomes even more challenging to manage the unknowns of the future. Jens’ research aims to find better ways of managing the challenges of today’s (risk) societies when the state of exception has become the new normal.
The various research projects Jens conducted cover mainly three topics:
Biographical planning and decision making.
Everyday understanding and responses to risk including risk-taking.
Discourse semantics of risk, specifically historical changes.
Research activities include the transition into the labour market of young adults, British Ex-Servicemen managing risk and uncertainty, a social policy research initiative on social inclusion and the life course, a project on efficient strategies of climate change adaptation, discourse semantic analysis of risk in the New York Times and the Times.

Associate Professor, Institute of Environment, Coastlines and Oceans Division, Florida International University
Marine mammals are highly charismatic species. They feed at a variety of trophic levels, occur from coastal to open-ocean ecosystems, and are found across virtually all latitudes. Due to their high historical - and sometimes present-day - abundances, capability for large-scale movements and highly variable metabolic rates, they have the potential to affect the structure and function of ecosystems through a variety of mechanisms over both ecological and evolutionary time. They also face major conservation challenges at the global scale due to bycatch, overfishing, habitat destruction and climate change.
Dr. Kiszka is a community and behavioral ecologist who studies the ecological roles and importance of marine mammals in marine ecosystems. More specifically, he investigates how they use habitats and resources (their ecological roles) and how ecosystems can be affected by the presence of these animals, which includes their top down effects on resources and behavior, as well as nutrient dynamics. His work involves the use and development of new and innovative research tools and methods to study marine mammal ecology and conservation issues, particularly since these species are so challenging to observe. Through research and education, he also creates outreach tools and works on providing opportunities for students from minority groups and developing countries to build capacity.

I was an undergraduate student at Oxford University UK, a graduate student at Aberdeen University UK, and a postdoc at Universities of East Anglia, Oxford and York UK. I've held faculty positions at Universities of York and Cornell.
I am interested in the construction of post-glacial small mammal communities and have studied the natural colonization history of European shrews, voles, mice and small carnivores, revealing a wide range of species- and lineage-specific responses in terms of source areas and pattern of spread. Unnatural colonization history (i.e. transport by humans) is also of interest to me, particularly the way that the phylogeography of small mammals transported by humans can inform about the history of the humans moving them. Those separate lineages that make up a species and which are formed in different places and colonize in different ways, are genetically differentiated to various degrees and may become separate species themselves. I am interested in the speciation process and the analysis of hybrid zones to inform about that. I have, in particular, studied the origin of chromosomally distinctive lineages, and the hybrid zones between those lineages, using shrews and mice as models.
I teach a variety of courses at Cornell including: BioEE 1780 Introduction to Evolutionary Biology and Diversity, BioEE 4500 Mammalogy and BioEE 4501 Mammalogy.

The overarching aim of my PhD study is to improve our systems' approach understanding the mechanisms behind the land use transformation. More specifically, the cumulative effects of extensive cattle ranching into tropical forests in protected areas, in order to implement effective and integrative land use planning in the northwest of Amazon region of Colombia. I am combining the systems approach with the use of Causal Loop Diagrams (CLD) together with remote sensing and GIS tools. The contribution of the study seeks to increase our knowledge to ensure pathways to reduce the alarming deforestation, create sustainable food systems and tackle the loss of biodiversity in this part of the Amazon.
As part of the Agenda 2030 graduate school at Lund University my research interests within the SGDs are focused on the nexus between the competition of land for food production (i.e., livestock) and the pressure on biodiversity and ecosystem services in protected areas with tropical rainforests.
