Brett Hendrickson
Professor of Religious Studies, Lafayette College
I am a professor of religious studies at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, where I study and teach on religion in the Americas, Latinx religion, and healing. I have been especially interested in understanding the importance of Mexican American religions in the United States in general. My first book, Border Medicine (NYU Press, 2014), explores Mexican American curanderismo and shows how this tradition has had an influence not only on Latinx communities, but also among many Anglo Americans. My second book, The Healing Power of the Santuario de Chimayó (NYU Press, 2017), looks at an important site of Catholic pilgrimage in northern New Mexico that is known for miraculous healing. My book tells the history of this place and shows how various populations have made meaning and found healing there. My third book, Mexican American Religions: An Introduction (Routledge, 2022), relates the historical development of Mexican American religion from the colonial period to the present.

Brett J. Baker
Assistant Professor of Marine Science, University of Texas at Austin
Microorganisms are key mediators in nearly all of the planet’s elemental cycles. However, our understanding of the ecological roles of many groups of microbes has been hampered by low-resolution analytical approaches to studying the staggering diversity present in nature. As a result the tree of life is full of branches, which remain undiscovered, and those, which have only been identified in single-gene sequencing surveys (Baker and Dick, 2013). This is a fundamental gap in our understanding of biology. Filling in the genomic gaps in the tree of life will provide a rich context to understand the evolution of life on the planet and will provide us with a genetic understanding of how microbial communities drive biogeochemical cycles.
Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies and computational analyses have made it possible to reconstruct the genomes and transcriptomes of uncultured natural populations (Baker et al. 2010, 2012 and 2013). I have been involved in the development (Dick et al. 2009) and implementation of environmental omics since the beginning. I was involved in the first metaproteomic study of a microbial community (Ram et al. 2005) and have been using these approaches to track fine-scale evolutionary processes (Denef et al. 2010). Using these techniques I discovered deeply branching, novel groups of microbes (Archaea referred to as ARMAN) that are close to the predicted lower size limit of an organism (Baker et al. 2006). Obtaining complete genomes of the ARMAN phylum revealed that they have signatures of inter-species interactions and form connections to other species in nature (Baker et al. 2010).
More recently, my laboratory has reconstructed the genomes of hundreds of widespread, uncultured sediment microbes to understand how ecological roles are partitioned in these microbial communities. Many of the genomes belong to phyla which have no previous genomic representation and discovered three new groups of bacteria they play important roles in the global carbon cycle (Baker et al. 2015; Lazar, et al, Environ Micro). One of the new branches for which we have obtained several genomes for is a deeply branched member (Thorarchaeota) (Seitz et al. 2016). These genomes have provided rich insights into the evolutionary histories of life on the planet and we have been able to map the flow of carbon and energy, a microbial food web, through sediments with unprecedented detail (Baker et al. 2015).

Brett Shadle
Professor, Virginia Tech
As a first-generation college student, I graduated with a bachelor’s in history from Northern Illinois University, and went on to earn a doctorate in African history from Northwestern University. After several years teaching at the University of Mississippi, I arrived at Virginia Tech in 2005. I am associate director of Virginia Techs's Center for Refugee, Migrant, and Displacement Studies, which pursues research and teaching around issues of displacement, and works with displaced individuals locally and internationally.
My early research dealt with colonialism, the law, marriage, and gender in southwest Kenya, resulting in the 2006 book, ‘Girl Cases’: Marriage and Colonialism in Gusiiland, Kenya, 1890-1970. While I conducted smaller research projects on legal history and sexual violence in Kenya, my next book delved into issues of race and settler colonialism: The Souls of White Folk: White Settlers in Kenya, 1900–1920s.
Most recently, I’ve turned my attention to the history of refugees and completed a “state of the field” essay (in A Companion to African History). I am in the midst of research and writing a long book on the history of refugees who fled Ethiopia after the 1935 invasion by Italy.
When working with students, I’m particularly interested in promoting study abroad and in dissecting issues of power, race, and paternalism that often arise in service learning projects, humanitarianism, and development.

Brian Choo
Postdoctoral fellow in vertebrate palaeontology, Flinders University
My research focuses on fossil fishes from the Silurian-Devonian in order to discover the origins of the modern vertebrate body plan.
I completed my PhD at ANU/Museum Victoria in late 2010 and immediately commenced a full time postdoctoral research position at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Beijing, China.
I was given full access to the world famous fossil collections of the institute and co-authored a series of high-impact papers on early gnathostome evolution and Triassic marine faunas, involving collaborating with researchers at the institute as well as Kean University, New Jersey (Xiaobo Yu) and Uppsala Universitet in Sweden (Per Ahlberg, Qu Qingming).
Notable discoveries include the so called "fish with the oldest face" Entelognathus which was featured in Nature, the first evidence of dermal pelvic girdles ancient in bony fishes and the first clear evidence of pelvic fins in antiarchs, the most primitive gnathostomes to possess homologues of our own legs.
This latter project was considered of sufficient import to be prominently featured by Sir David Attenborough in the 2013 BBC documentary "Rise of Animals: The Triumph of the Vertebrates" in which I was credited as an advisor having provided the original "character sketches" for the animated fish reconstructions while providing corrections to the early drafts.
In March 2014, I commenced a full time postdoctoral research position at Flinders University, notable publication highlights for 2014 include the description of Megamastax, the earliest vertebrate apex predator (in Scientific Reports), fresh data on Devonian actinopterygians from Germany and Western Australia (in press in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology) and the earliest evidence for penetrative copulation in vertebrates.
At present I am concluding several holdover projects from my time in Beijing and conducting preliminary research on undescribed Devonian fishes from Western Australia, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.
