Björn Meder
Professor of Psychology, Health and Medical University
I’m a cognitive and behavioral scientist with a background in psychology. My research investigates the computational and behavioral principles that support human learning, search, and decision making. I am particularly interested in how humans actively search for information or rewards, how they make causal inferences based on limited and noisy data, and the cognitive foundations of judgment and decision making. I like computational models of cognition, which I develop and test by running behavioral studies that span across a wide range of age groups. My work also provides several connections to applied research, for instance regarding the use of behavioral insights in policy making and how people understand and evaluate medical risks.
I’m a professor of cognitive and experimental psychology (Allgemeine Psychologie) at the Health and Medical University in Potsdam. In addition, I’m affiliated with the Max Planck Research Group iSearch at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Center for Empirical Research in Economics and Behavioral Sciences (CEREB) at the University of Erfurt.

Bodil Folke Frederiksen
Associate Professor Emerita, Roskilde University
My broad teaching and research area is the interface between culture and politics in east and southern Africa. I research the localisation of media and global popular culture in east and southern Africa, consumption and representation and the role they play for identities and social and livelihood practices for social groupings, particularly young women and men. I am interested in the political and cultural articulations of disadvantaged groups, how they often happen through mobilisation in ‘uncivil’ social movements – they may be ethnic or religious – and may, in spite of their unregulated character, contribute to processes of democratic transformation. In this connection I study diasporic groups who are often extremely dynamic but also exposed to abuse and persecution. I highlight the work of local intellectuals, writers and artists and their contributions to the political and social atmosphere in specific places and periods. I have a side interest in popular culture in India and am committed to the study of development from below. Finally I research the history of sexuality in Africa.

Bonar Hernández Sandoval
Associate Professor of History, Iowa State University
I am a historian of religion, politics, and social movements in Latin America. I received my Ph.D. in Latin American History from the University of Texas at Austin.
I am the author of "Guatemala’s Catholic Revolution," a book that chronicles the resurgence of Catholicism among Maya communities, employing a transnational approach that incorporates elite and popular notions of religiosity by drawing on documents housed in Guatemala, the United States, and the Vatican. It traces the emergence of progressive Catholic communities in Guatemala and beyond during the Cold War. My current research examines how Maya communities in rural, civil war-torn Guatemala developed a religious and political identity that drove the formation of several popular organizations. These groups became a nucleus for radical forms of activism, solidarity, and mobilization among urban and rural peoples. My articles and book chapters have appeared in several top-rated publications, including "The Americas," "The Oxford Handbook of Central American History," and "The Cambridge History of Religion in Latin America."
My research and training have been funded by various sources, including the Social Science Research Council, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and the Center for the Excellence of the Arts and Humanities at Iowa State University.

I have my hand in a variety of things, but the majority of my work involves exploding stars called supernova, and cosmology, the study of the universe. A certain type of supernova, called a type Ia, can be used as a standard candle that can trace our universe's history.
For this work, I am involved with a number of supernova surveys. I have been working on the ESSENCE Project, The CfA Supernova Search, The Carnegie Supernova Project and also using Mt Stromlo's new SkyMapper telescope. I am one of the leads of the Kepler Extra-Galactic Survey, KEGS, a Kepler Space Telescope Key Program, to understand why and how stars blow. I am leading a project to build a network of ultraviolet telescopes in the upper atmosphere which are being built at Mt Stromlo.
In addition to research, I frequently give talks to school groups and the general public about astronomy and have regular segments on various radio stations talking about astronomy news and events.
Among other things, I have developed a series of astronomy coins in conjunction with the Royal Australian Mint, consulted on science fiction movies, advised on astronomy-themed art projects, and have been featured in specials on the National Geographic Channel.
