Thomas D. Beamish
Professor of Sociology, University of California, Davis
I am a Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Davis, a research affiliate at the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), and currently a board member and a faculty affiliate of the UC Davis Designated Emphasis in Environmental Humanities. My research interests and expertise focus on risks & hazards, the environment, community politics & movements, and institutions, organizations, & economy. These interests have taken shape through studies of mass media and the anti-war movements, the petroleum industry and an oil spill disaster, technological innovation in the commercial construction and real estate industries, risk disputes and civic political conflict, and the political discourse and theatre that currently surrounds "public tragedies." Across my career, within these broad areas of interest, I have focused on the collective construction of rationality and how situated membership(s) in organizations, communities, and social movement groups shape interpretation, expectations, and preferences in significant ways.
The National Science Foundation, the California Energy Commission, the UC Toxics Research and Teaching Fellowship, and the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation are just some of the institutions that have funded my research. From my research, I have published three books, Silent Spill: The Organization of an Industrial Crisis (2002, MIT Press), Community at Risk: Biodefense and the Collective Search for Security (2015, Stanford University Press), and After Tragedy Strikes: Why Claims of Trauma and Loss Promote Public Outrage and Encourage Political Polarization (2024, University of California Press). I have also published in leading journals like The Journal of Social Problems, Annual Review of Sociology, The American Behavioral Scientist, Environment & Planning C: Government & Policy, and Organization and Environment, among others.

Thumbi Ndung’u
Director for basic and translational science, Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI)
Professor Thumbi Ndung'u is an eminent HIV scientist who has made important contributions in the field of HIV vaccine and pathogenesis research. His research programme at AHRI is focussed on understanding how HIV and TB persist and replicate in the face of a hostile host immune system – with the goal of aiding the design of a safe, affordable and effective HIV-1 vaccine or effective immune-based therapies. Thumbi has a special interest in capacity building for biomedical research in Africa, primarily through the Sub-Saharan African Network for TB/HIV Research Excellence (SANTHE) programme, based at AHRI. He is a Max Planck Society Group Leader and holds a professorship at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
He is interested in understanding antiviral immune mechanisms and viral adaptation in HIV-1 subtype C infection as a pathway to vaccine development. His work has focussed on understudied populations and viral strains in resource-limited, high burden settings where knowledge of the role of antiviral immune responses, viral strains and associated genetic factors is likely to yield the greatest impact in terms of biomedical interventions like vaccines. Thumbi’s early work addressed the lack of biological tools for HIV vaccine and pathogenesis research on HIV-1 subtype C, the predominant subtype globally and in southern Africa. He generated and characterised the first infectious molecular of HIV-1 subtype C from primary isolates, and constructed the first infectious subtype C envelope-derived simian-human immunodeficiency virus able to replicate in rhesus macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These tools were deposited in the NIH AIDS reagent program and remain available to researchers. The tools have facilitated in vitro and animal model studies of HIV-1 subtype C biology and vaccine development research.

Tiffany Green
Associate Professor of Population Health Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
I am currently a tenured Associate Professor in the Departments of Population Health Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received my BA in economics from Florida A&M University. As an economist and population health scientist, my goal is to understand the causes and consequences of racial/ethnic disparities in health, particularly among maternal, child, and immigrant populations. The biggest problem that keeps me up at night? The fact that black women, regardless of how much income or education they have, are the racial/ethnic group most likely to die from childbirth-related complications and give birth to babies who die before the age of 1 year. I apply methods from economics, demography, and health services research to document and unpack the sources of these disparities, and have published in a wide variety of peer-reviewed journals such as Economics and Human Biology, the Journal of Women’s Health and the American Journal of Public Health. I believe strongly that these problems have to be tackled from an interdisciplinary perspective—even if leaving your disciplinary silo makes you a little uncomfortable along the way. I am also committed to training the next generation of researchers to become better critical thinkers, better scientists, and more informed, engaged citizens.
