Assistant Lecturer in Psychology, Birmingham City University
Having completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Staffordshire University earlier that year, I began my PhD in September 2020. Under the supervision of Dr Jade Elliott and Dr Samuel Jones, my PhD investigated why some people share their sexual fantasies with a partner and others do not. During this research, I paid particular attention to the influence of the specific fantasy and the individual's relationship.
I am currently the lead of the "Gender, sexuality and intimate relationships" research lab at Birmingham City University. My research interests more widely focus on human sexuality, kink, intimate relationships, sexual communication, inequality and LGBTQ+ experiences. I have previously utilised both quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Adjunct Professor, Geography, University of Winnipeg
Dr. Matt Morison is a Adjunct Professor of Geography at The University of Winnipeg as well as working in the Water Science and Watershed Management Branch of the Government of Manitoba. Dr. Morison holds a PhD from the University of Waterloo (2018) in Geography and Environmental Management, and a BSc from The University of Winnipeg (2012) in Mathematics and Geography.
The world’s freshwater resources face rising pressure from direct human impacts and the effects of climate change on both water quantity and quality. Climate change, winter warming, forest fire, agricultural land use, permafrost thaw, and oil sands development are just a window into the way we impact - and are impacted by - the water which we need to live.
We urgently need to understand both the state of our natural, less-impacted watersheds and freshwater bodies, as well as monitoring of areas of hard and fast disturbance to be able to make conclusive statements about the effects our activities and climate change are having on these regions. Dr. Morison believes these important research problems requires working at a variety of scales from soil grains and single trees all the way up to catchments thousands of kilometers apart, working within a big team with diverse perspectives and experiences.

Senior Lecturer in Functional Materials, Nottingham Trent University
Dr. Addicoat’s research interests lie in computational combinatorial chemistry – that is using computer calculations to search and sort many thousands or even millions of possible chemical compounds, before any of them are synthesised. In particular, Dr. Addicoat is interested in applying these methods to materials chemistry, where the following three types of materials are of current interest:
Molecular Framework Materials – Molecular Framework Materials, such as Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) and Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) are highly porous materials made by stitching together various metal or organic “nodes” (corners) with organic “linkers” (edges) to create 2D and 3D frameworks. These materials typically have high surface area, tuneable pore size and changeable functional groups leading to possible applications in fields such as gas adsorption and separation, catalysis and sensing. Given the hundreds of different networks and the effectively infinite number of molecules that can be used to create a framework material, identifying the optimum framework by chance is highly unlikely.
Ionic Liquids – Ionic liquids (ILs) are liquids comprised entirely of ions, differentiated from typical ionic salts by having melting points below 100 oC. IL melting points are low because electrostatic interactions between component ions are weaker, and crystal lattice packing is hindered. This is typically achieved by making at least one of the ions large, unsymmetrical and organic. The physicochemical properties of ILs can be tuned through a judicious choice of ions. This flexibility has driven wide-ranging research into their use as solvents in green chemistry, energy and electrochemical applications, pharmaceuticals and lubricants.
Transition Metal Clusters – Small clusters of transition metal atoms in the sub-nanometre range have been shown to catalyse a number of environmentally important reactions – e.g. the oxidation of CO and reduction of NO. However, the properties of these clusters are very difficult to predict, and adding or subtracting a single atom can change the reaction rates by several orders of magnitude.

Doctoral Scholar, Geography, Queen Mary University of London
I am an artist-researcher working at the intersection of discourses around place, the photographic, and care in more-than-human worlds. My practice spans between more ‘normative’ humanities research outputs in the form of research publications and conference presentations, as well as artistic outputs in the form of printmaking, sculpture, and experimental films/filmic essays.
I maintain broad discursive interests around materialisms, ethics of care, more-than-human enquiry, science and technology studies, and participatory art models and criticism. Recently these areas have been focused on the colonial legacies of houseplants and on jellyfish economies.
Currently a doctoral scholar within the School of Geography at Queen Mary, University of London, my thesis (working title - Connective Tissue: (Un)lively Materialities of Gelatinous Life) considers the intersections between legislation, ethics, and naturecultures in mapping the material and social life of gelatine, collagen, and their related commodities. Gelatine and collagen are animal agriculture (by)products extracted from connective tissues in the form of odourless/tasteless granules or powder. It accomplishes this through three approaches: (1) charting the development of global gelatine/collagen markets by engaging with a selection of historical and contemporary production and consumption practices; (2) focusing on a collaboration between a private company and university scientists working to produce/sustain a coastal jellyfish/gelatine economy in the state of Georgia in the United States; and (3) exploring the emergent world of jellyfish aquaculture and companion gelatinous zooplankton.

Associate Professor of Biological Sciences, Florida International University
Chemosensation underlies many insect behaviors including host detection and oviposition site selection. I developed genome editing tools in Aedes aegypti for the comprehensive genetic analysis of mosquito behavior. Using this approach, I have provided key insights into DEET repellency, oviposition behavior, hygrosensation, hormonal physiology, reproduction, and how mosquitoes find their human and plant hosts. My work has highlighted the role of acid volatiles associated with human odor in mosquito host detection. Microbiome-based vector control is my current focus. Understanding the composition and odor profiles of the microbial communities associated with human skin and mosquito oviposition sites offers the promise to disrupt vector behavior to reduce disease risk.

Professor of Neurology, University of Florida
My career objective is to provide molecular targets, tools and research insights in neurologic and age-related neurodegenerative disorders to encourage major pharmaceutical investment. For the past 25 years my research has been largely focused on neurogenetics and molecular neuroscience modeling of Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism. My mission it to help molecularly diagnoses and develop disease-modifying therapeutics aimed at neuroprotection (precision medicine). Ongoing projects include the genetic analysis of patient DNA samples from pedigrees and population isolates by high-throughput and Sanger sequencing. In parallel, my team seeks to characterize novel genes and mutations we discover in model systems. I primarily focus on subtle changes to the mouse genome through cre-loxP conditional recombineering (floxed mice). I prefer to keep experiments as physiologic as possible, as true to the human condition. Core experimental techniques include electrophysiology (mostly voltammetry), microdialysis, protein biochemistry, confocal imaging, behavioral assays and neuropharmacology. Ongoing studies involve mature primary cell cultures, brain slice and whole animal work.
