Nicholas Leach

Postdoctoral Researcher, Climate Science, University of Oxford
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Oxford University, having recently completed my PhD as part of the Environmental Research Doctoral Training Partnership there. I reside in the Predictability of Weather and Climate research group, supervised by Antje Weisheimer and Myles Allen. My research explores the use of operational weather forecasting models within the field of extreme event attribution, with a particular focus on heat events and storms. This work touches on themes of numerical weather prediction, attribution of climate change, meteorological drivers of extreme weather and extreme value statistics.

I started out in climate change research during a summer research project (that I would later develop into my masters thesis) investigating a simple method for estimating the remaining global carbon budget. While this particular field is no longer my focus, I still remain involved, especially in the use and development of reduced complexity climate models.

I am also a climate scientist at Climate X, specialising in the quantifying the impact of climate change on storm systems globally. My role involves both assessing how to apply state-of-the art academic research to provide the detailed information on climate risk required by the financial industry, and coming up with novel ways that can improve upon more traditional ways of quantifying extreme weather risk from storm systems. I combine a variety of statistical methods and models with observational data and state-of-the-art physical climate and weather model simulations in my work, and am always interested in new approaches in this space, so if you’re an academic researching physical extreme weather risk and interested in working with industry, please get in touch!

Nick Buttrick

Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Our lab uses a socioecological approach to understand contemporary society, one that examines how structural, demographic, geographic, cultural, and historical factors create individual psychology in real-world contexts. We use a multi-method approach, including laboratory experiments, on-line studies, archival research, and surveys with a stress on promoting open replicable practices. Currently, we are focusing on the psychology of peculiarly American cultural beliefs including the symbolism of gun ownership (such as how people think about guns, what historical and demographic patterns have shaped those thoughts, how they use them to cope with threat in everyday life, how they use them to signal identity, and what happens to communities in the wake of gun violence), the ways in which people think about effort and success (such as how people think about those who succeed, how they think about the failures of themselves and others, how they use a linkage between effort and success to shore up beliefs about hierarchy, meritocracy, and deservingness, how such beliefs are shaped by schemas like the Protestant Work Ethic, how these beliefs differ by sociodemographic positioning such as class, and how these beliefs are similar to and different from non-American cultural traditions surrounding the importance of effort), and the political and motivational consequences of America’s built environments (such as the ways in which walkable neighborhoods or neighborhoods full of parks and recreation allow for different sorts of interpersonal interactions among strangers and how residential mobility and its decline in the United States shapes the ways that people are able to form relationships). As a lab full of pragmatists, we’re ultimately interested in making sure that our research *does* something, using the power of theoretically-driven psychology to develop meaningful interventions into the world.

Hirshon is the author of the book "We Want Fish Sticks: The Bizarre and Infamous Rebranding of the New York Islanders," released in 2018 via the University of Nebraska Press. He previously wrote two other books, "Images of America: Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum" (2010), on the Long Island arena known for hosting the Islanders, and "Images of America: Forest Hills" (2013), about the New York City neighborhood that hosted the U.S. Open tennis tournament for six decades. He has been interviewed about his books by news outlets such as the CBS television affiliate in New York City, News 12 Long Island, the New York Post, Newsday, and the radio station that airs Islanders games.

Hirshon has published in peer-reviewed journals such as American Journalism, Case Studies in Sport Management, International Journal of Sport Communication, and Journalism History. His research has also been recognized with awards and honors at several academic conferences. In 2015, his paper on the groundbreaking association between New York City Mayor John Lindsay and the 1969 New York Mets received the Outstanding Student Paper Award from the American Journalism Historians Association.

Before joining the faculty at William Paterson, Hirshon taught journalism at Ohio University (2013-2016), St. John’s University (2010-2013), and LaGuardia Community College in the City University of New York (2009-2013).
