Konstantinos Dimopoulos
Professor in Particle Cosmology, Lancaster University
I am a Professor in Particle Cosmology in the Physics Department of Lancaster University. My research is in Theoretical Cosmology and, in particular, in the physics of Cosmic Inflation. Inflation is a period of superluminal expansion of space that occurred a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
It is responsible for making the observable Universe large and uniform. Also, it generated the small variations (perturbations) in the density of matter that gave rise to the formation of galaxies. These cosmological perturbations reflect themselves onto the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation by causing small temperature variations.
Models of inflation are based on fundamental physics like quantum field theory, supersymmetry, supergravity and string theory. The characteristics of cosmological perturbations which are observed in the CMB can tell apart models of inflation and, therefore, can constrain fundamental theories.
Thus, theoretical cosmologists, like myself, use the Early universe as a giant laboratory to test fundamental physics, well beyond Earth based experiments, like particle accelerators.

Kory Evans
Assistant Professor of BioSciences, Rice University
The Evans lab is interested in the ecology and evolution of phenotypic diversity, integrating data from developmental biology, ecology, biomechanics and phylogeny to understand this process at various timescales. Bony fishes provide a unique opportunity to ask these questions and study the origins of phenotypic diversity along with the interface between phenotype and environment, within the most species-rich assemblage of vertebrates on the planet. Our research program is centered on three questions:
1. How do patterns of ontogenetic variation scale to patterns of phenotypic diversity?
2. How do intrinsic (ontogenetic constraints) and extrinsic (environmental variation) factors influence patterns of phenotypic diversification and convergence?
3. How do functional traits covary in development and evolution?

Kristi Curry Rogers
Professor of Biology and Geology, Macalester College
I’m a vertebrate paleontologist most interested in studying dinosaur evolution and paleobiology. My current research focuses on the evolutionary history of Titanosauria – the latest surviving and perhaps most diverse lineage of long- necked sauropod dinosaurs. Titanosauria includes over 40 species that had a near- global distribution during the Late Cretaceous. They are of particular interest to me and my students because of the incredible array of adult body sizes attained within the group. Titanosauria includes the largest land-living animals of all time, as well as species thought to be dwarfs. Among dinosaurs, titanosaurs may be one of the only groups to experience a body size reduction during their evolutionary history. With regard to paleobiology, I am most interested in understanding dinosaur life history, and utilize bone histology to explore and reconstruct growth patterns in extinct dinosaurs, living birds, and other vertebrates. To these ends, I also conduct field research in Montana, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe.

· The use of telehealth and virtual reqality to improve outcomes and access to services in diabetes related foot disease in rural, remote, and Aboriginal and Torres Straight communities.
· the impact of social determinants of health on foot ulcers and amputation rates in diabetes related foot disease.
