Meiru Wang
Postdoctoral Researcher, Molecular Biology and Nanotoxicology, Leiden University
Meiru is interested in the potential toxicity in living organisms that may be caused by a group of new emerging pollutants: plastic nanoparticles.
She started her PhD project at IBL in 2019, working under the supervision of Prof. Michael K. Richardson (IBL) and Prof. Martina G. Vijver (CML). Her PhD project primarily focused on studying the toxicity of nanoplastics using a chicken embryo model. The research aimed to investigate the developmental toxicity in developing chicks caused by nanoplastics. When the research started, the field was relatively new, providing Meiru with a unique opportunity to carve her own insights into the realms of toxicology, embryology, developmental biology, pathology, and molecular biology. This experience has equipped her with a diverse set of research skills. Furemore, she is highly enthusiastic and has successfully collaborated with several institutions including, CML, LUMC, Swiss Light Source, and Naturalis Biodiversity Center. She defended her PhD thesis at 16th January 2024.

Mel Rutherford
Professor and Department Chair, Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour, McMaster University
I am a Full Professor in Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour and McMaster University's first Transgender department chair. In my professional life and my personal life I work towards Social Justice, and I take an evidence-based approach to issues of equity, diversity and inclusion. We share the goal of creating a workplace where each person can bring their whole selves to work, but what are the best practices for creating this safe workplace? As psychologists, and as scientists, we have some tools at our disposal to discern which approaches work, and which lead us astray.
The work in my lab is experimental psychology motivated by evolutionary theory. We work on the questions of Social Perception and Social Perceptual Development. We study the perception of social categories, using both face-perception paradigms and essentialist paradigms. We use these approaches to explore evidence-based approaches to equity, diversity and inclusion. We are exploring developing psychological machinery underlying prosocial and moral behavior, and exploring whether we can expand our definition of our ingroup to extend our moral concern to a bigger circle . We study animacy perception, as the first developmental step in social cognition. Using eye-tracking technology, we study the development of autistic characteristics and of the broader autism phenotype.
I have developed workshops and writings on the topics of Radically Inclusive Leadership, Formal Consensus Decision Making, and Queer Etiquette.

Melissa Bright
Founder and Executive Director, Center for Violence Prevention Research; Affiliate Faculty with the Crimes Against Children Research Center, University of New Hampshire
After completing her PhD in developmental psychology from the University of Georgia, Dr. Bright spent eight years on the faculty at the University of Florida in both the College of Medicine and College of Education. While at UF, she led evaluations of Florida’s Medicaid programs for children and developed a multidisciplinary research agenda around family violence and social determinants of health.
As her research program advanced, she found the most important part of her work to be partnerships with community-based, direct service providers. More and more she became disenchanted with the distance between her academic position and the community organizations she cared about. In short, the structure of university-based research was not supportive to community-based research. In 2021, Dr. Bright left academia to found the Center for Violence Prevention Research. Her goal was to create a research organization that was accessible to non-researchers and that conducted research with immediate implications for practice.
Dr. Bright’s work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the American Psychosomatic Society, AcademyHealth, and several not-for-profit organizations. She has published dozens of papers in high impact scientific journals including JAMA Pediatrics and the Morbidity Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Melissa Franks
Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, Purdue University
I joined the Family Studies faculty in the Department of Child Development and Family Studies at Purdue University in the fall of 2007. My program of research focuses on marital processes in the management of chronic illness. In this work, my colleagues and I investigate health lifestyles and marital interactions and their association with the physical health and psychological well-being of both marital partners. Our current work is funded by the National Institute on Aging.
I am a social psychologist, and I received my doctoral degree from Kent State University. My dissertation research ignited my continuing interest in marital processes in the context of illness. Together with my graduate mentor, Mary Ann Stephens, I investigated the social support that husbands provide to their wives who are caring for an aging parent. This work on family caregiving led me to pursue postdoctoral training in gerontology. I received an NIA postdoctoral fellowship through the Institute of Gerontology at the University of Michigan. My postdoctoral training with Dr. A. Regula Herzog focused on productive aging and on self-making among older adults. Following my postdoctoral training, I joined the faculty at Wayne State University where I began my research on the management of chronic illness in married couples. I later returned to the University of Michigan to continue my research in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.
At Purdue, I am a faculty associate in the Center on Aging and the Life Course. My families and health research is conducted through the Relationships and Healthcare Lab, in collaboration with Dr. Cleveland Shields. Several exciting projects are underway in this lab, and new projects are being developed by affiliated faculty and students. These projects will contribute new knowledge about the influence of marriage and family relationships on the health and well-being of individual members.
