Lecturer in English and Writing, University of Sydney I am a Lecturer in the discipline of English and Writing at the University of Sydney, teaching Rhetoric, English and Writing. I publish regular research on Shakespeare's rhetoric. As a creative writer, I have written two "Shakespearean" blank verse dramas that reapply the rhetorical precepts used by Shakespeare. My first play, "The Tragicall Historie of Woollarawarre Bennelong", was shortlisted for the Griffin Award and is published by Australian Plays.
Associate Professor, Epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet I finished my PhD at the Department of Public Health, Karolinska Institutet in Sep 2010. I did my postdoc at IMM and is currently a research group leader and an Associate Professor at the division of Epidemiology at IMM. My research group, Ageing and Health, concerns the ageing population, the driving force of longevity and old age health, and the consequences of it. I have worked for many years with the national population registers in Sweden and have an interest in the validity of these. I am a member of the steering group for SINGS (The Swedish INterdisciplinary Graduate School in Register-Based Research) and lecture about epidemiological methods and register based research both at graduate and post graduate level.
Lecturer in School of Social Sciences, Western Sydney University Dr Kathleen Openshaw is a lecturer in the School of Social Sciences at Western Sydney University. She has a PhD from Western Sydney University (Australia), and a Master’s degree in Anthropology and Development Studies (Maynooth University, Ireland). Kathleen’s main research interests are the intersection between migration and religiosity – in particular, the experiences of African diaspora communities and their transnational connections to their homelands through the lens of their religiosity. Her PhD research was an ethnography of the Brazilian megachurch The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) in Australia. Kathleen is currently a member of the research team for an Australian Research Council Discovery Project, “The African Diaspora and Pentecostalism in Australia”. She is co-editor (with C. Rocha and M. Hutchinson) of Australian Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements: Arguments from the Margins. Leiden: Brill (2020).

Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Michigan State University At the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) a plethora of by-product radionuclides will be created that are of immense societal value for a number of disciplines, viz. nuclear medicine, plant biology, material science, astrophysics and stockpile stewardship science. It is an ambitious endeavor to collect these rare radionuclides at sub-nanomolar levels from the vast amount of cooling water, radiochemically purify them, and finally transfer them into a chemical form that is required for the specific applications. So far, the feasibility of ‘isotope harvesting’ was already probed at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). The next step will involve a translation towards the conditions at FRIB, where challenges like considerably increased levels of radioactivity, diluted in a greatly larger water volume will be met.
Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science and Engineering, Harvard University Kaighin McColl is an Assistant Professor at Harvard University, jointly appointed in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His group uses theory, models and observations to study the terrestrial water cycle, and its connection to weather and climate over land. Prior to his appointment in 2018, he was a Ziff Environmental Fellow at Harvard University's Center for the Environment. He received his Ph.D. from MIT in 2017, funded by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship; and received bachelor's degrees in environmental engineering and applied mathematics from the University of Melbourne in 2009.
