Associate Professor, School of Pharmacy, The University of Queensland Kathryn is a pharmacist from the UK, who moved to Western Australia in 1999 and then to the University of Queensland in 2007. She teaches into the Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) in the areas of pharmaceutics, compounding and complementary medicines, and she teaches a course about clinical trials into the Master of Pharmaceutical Industry Practice. Kathryn is currently the Director of Teaching and Learning for the School of Pharmacy. Following a number of years conducting research into plant biology, Kathryn's current research interests generally link back to plants in some way - for example the tobacco plants used for chewing and smoking, the plant gums used to thicken medicines and lubricate swallowing, and the plants used in complementary medicines. Many of her projects develop in response to requests for help from healthcare professionals, and so she has a strong focus on answering clinical questions using pharmaceutical science methods. Kathryn has published over 140 journal articles across a wide range of topics, and she has supervised 28 PhD students and over 60 undergraduate independent research student projects.

Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, Bryant University Kristin Scaplen, Assistant Professor, grew up in Connecticut, not far from the Rhode Island border and has lived in New England for much of her life. She received a B.S. in Biology and a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Connecticut and her PhD in Neuroscience from Brown University. Prior to coming to Bryant, she spent her postdoc using sophisticated neurogenetic tools to study the persistence of memory in the context of alcohol use. She intends to continue investigating how neural circuits for pathologic memories are established and change with experience to ultimately guide maladaptive reward seeking.

I am also a qualified teacher with a PGCE in Post-Compulsory Education. I have published in the fields of sport history, but I also work on contemporary sporting issues, often those impacting women. I am currently working on projects relating to the experiences of minorty ethnic women football spectators.
