Vera Vasas
Research Fellow in Ecology and Evolution, University of Sussex
Vera Vasas is a computation biologist working in the field of animal cognition. Her work explores the algorithmic bases of vision and visual learning, aiming to understand the computations taking place in animal brains.
Her favourite subjects are insects - due to the dual selection pressures of living complex lives and being limited in their energy, insect brains are small and highly efficient, offering an excellent model system for studying the fundamental principles of animal minds.
Vasas is currently a Research Fellow at the University of Sussex, working on models of ant navigation with Prof Paul Graham. Previously she has worked at Queen Mary, University of London, where she studied visual cognition in bees with Prof Lars Chittka.

Veronica Heney
Research Associate in Medical Humanities, Durham University
I am an interdisciplinary medical humanities researcher, bringing together social science and literary studies methods to explore narratives and experiences of madness and mental distress. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Medical Humanities where I am studying anxiety. In particular, I am interested in how anxiety is depicted in fiction, how these depictions are understood and assessed by people with experience of anxiety, and how anxiety might impact practices of reading and viewing fiction. This work emerges out of my PhD, which explored cultural representations of self-harm in literature, film, and television.
Throughout my work I use an interdisciplinary method to re-centre lived experience of madness and mental distress within questions of literary analysis and interpretation. Through this I explore broader questions of the relationship between the social and the cultural, the role of fictional texts in constructions of subjectivity, and the tension between personal sense-making and broader structural formations of meaning. Blending sociological discourse analysis and literary close reading I connect literary questions of genre, form, voice and narrative structure to sociological questions of identity, experience and chronicity. A short introduction to my research and the topic of narratives of self-harm, originally presented at a Time to Change event held on World Mental Health Day, can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/t3b06XaEmKA
I am currently undertaking a 2-year project at the Institute for Medical Humanities investigating narratives and experiences of debilitating anxiety. My doctoral research explored cultural representations of self-harm, as experienced and understood by people who have self-harmed. I am interested in bringing together Literary Studies and Sociological methods to explore the interplay and overlap between narrative and experience, particularly with regards to madness and mental distress. I use engaged and collaborative methods to centre lived experience within research. I am also the co-founder of Make Space, a user-led collective which seeks to facilitate more generous and nuanced conversations around self-harm.

Vianey Rueda
PhD Student in Resource Ecology Management, University of Michigan
Vianey grew up in San Elizario, Texas, a small city in the lower valley of El Paso. Before starting her first year at the University of Michigan as a PhD student, Vianey worked for the City of Boerne, Texas as the city’s Data Architect, where her task included managing the city’s water data and building a water dashboard to be used for decision-makers. Vianey first became interested in water concerns, specifically the role of science and policy in water management, through her work on the family farm and her proximity to the Rio Grande. She grew increasingly more concerned as she saw the section of the Rio Grande that passes through El Paso go dry (as it remains today) and as the livelihood of many farmers became threatened by a scarce resource and a changing climate. Vianey aspires to have a career in policy, either through advising or a political career of her own.
Vianey’s current research is focused on the 1944 Water Treaty between the United States and Mexico and using an interdisciplinary lens to finding alternative water delivery mechanisms for the Rio Grande that reduce treaty non-compliance and protect community needs in the face of increasing basin variability. Her interdisciplinary approach is to combine socio-economic, hydrologic modeling, and a legal/political analysis in order to uncover holistic solutions. An important component of her research is the continued interaction with communities of the Texas-Mexico border and the co-production of knowledge.
