Professor of Meteorology, Senior Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education, Penn State
Dr. Richardson's research focuses on understanding the formation and evolution of severe storms through both numerical modeling and observations. In particular, her numerical modeling studies investigate the influence of temporal and spatial variations in environmental shear and/or convective available potential energy on storm strength, rotational properties, and longevity. Her observational work has focused on understanding storm rotation, in particular tornado genesis and maintenance, using mobile radars to collect fine-scale observations of thunderstorms and tornadoes. Dr. Richardson was a principal investigator in the International H20 Project (IHOP) in Spring, 2002 with a focus on convection initiation and boundary layer processes using mobile radar data combined with other remote and in-situ measurements. She served as a steering committee member and a principal investigator for the second phase of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2) in 2009 and 2010.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Anthropobiology and Genomics, Université de Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier
Yvette Running Horse Collin is a Marie Skłodowska Curie IEF post-doctoral researcher in the AGES group. Her project is titled: MethylRIDE: Charting DNA Methylation Reprogramming of Ice Age Horses in the Face of Global Climate Change and Extinction. She is interested in the fields of equine genomics, archelogy, paleontology, metagenomics, indigenous studies, sustainability and climate change.
Yvette is an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Nation (Oglala Sioux Tribe). For more than a decade, she has received specialized training from a number of Lakota traditional knowledge bearers in advanced indigenous sciences, environmental practices, and medicines. Within her culture, these categories of traditional indigenous knowledge are selectively passed to candidates who are viewed as capable of learning, practicing and holding such knowledge in a manner that is preserved accurately for the benefit of the People of her Nation, and as appropriate, for the world.
Yvette received her B.A. from The Johns Hopkins University, and a Joint M.A. from New York University. She completed her PhD work at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (Phi Kappa Phi International Honors Society, Golden Key International Honors Society.) Her doctoral research, which was sponsored by multiple UAF Indigenous Studies Fellowship awards and an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Dissertation Fellowship, focused on the history of the horse in the Americas and its relationship with First Nation Peoples.
Upon completion of her doctorate in 2017, Yvette served her Nation as an appointed Presidential Ambassador, and continued her work as an Administrator for the Black Hills Sioux Nation Council. As is aligned with her cultural protocols, Yvette spent the past three years returning her research back to the communities who participated in her doctoral study. In many cases, this took the form of physically returning representative herds of the descendants of the original horses of such Peoples to their communities and actively participating with elders in teaching and sharing the traditions and science surrounding them.

Lecturer in Media and Doctoral Researcher, Nottingham Trent University
I am a Doctoral Researcher and Lecturer (Media and Communication Studies - across three academic years) at Nottingham Trent University. My current research practice is largely centred around gender and queer-based studies, whilst my academic background has been focused around theatre and performance studies. My doctoral project, titled: 'Locating Regional Cultures of Drag in Medium-Sized English Cities: An Ethnographic Case Study of Nottingham’s Drag Scene', sits between fields of: gender-based, cultural, queer, performance-based, and ethnographic research. It ethnographically explores the socioeconomic dimensions of regional and lesser-metropolitan drag scenes in the UK (physically and virtually), with specific focus on the infiltration of neoliberal ideologies. Observations are made around: socioeconomic dimensions of drag scenes and their geographic positioning, historical shifts relating to queer visibility within queer communities, and the experiential qualities observed by those constructing UK drag scenes.
I have experience in publishing within UK-based journals, and I currently have a chapter in the final stages of peer review for a drag-performance based edited collection to be published by the University of Delaware (USA).
