Principal Research Fellow, University of Reading My research focusses on invertebrate ecology in the agri-environment and primarily the impacts of farming practice and land management on the ecosystem services of pest control and pollination underpinning crop production. I have worked in many cropping systems including arable, soft fruit and top fruit production and my research is applied and often industry funded. Specific areas of interest include: – Insect pollination ecology and crop production – Ecological intensification of smallholder farming systems – Effects of agricultural practices on pests and natural enemies – Trophic influences of soil fertility management in agricultural systems – Integrated Pest Management.

Professor of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology, University of Florida I am a professor and dean of the College of Health and Human Performance at the University of Florida. I am also a fellow of the American Physiological Society (FAPS) and the American College of Sports Medicine (FACSM). At present, I serve as consulting editor for Journal of Applied Physiology and sit on the editorial board of Antioxidants & Redox Signaling. As an investigator, I have published over 120 scientific articles in the fields of biomechanics, motor control, muscle biology, and the mechanisms of fatigue. Our team is primarily recognized for my research on the redox mechanisms that limit performance in chronic disease and extreme environments. At present, we are part of a multisite research project to evaluate professional race car drivers during competition with the goal of improving performance and increasing driver safety. Relevant publications include: Reid MB and Lightfoot JT, Med Sci Sports Exercise 51: 2548-2562, 2019 and Reid, MB, Cells 11:899, 2022.
Professor of Climate Dynamics, University of East Anglia I'm a professor in the Climatic Research Unit, part of the School of Environmental Sciences. I do research on climate dynamics, which is about understanding the circulation and variability of the climates of Earth and other planets, and how they can change over time. A strong focus of my research is understanding how our climate will change over the coming century with the addition of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. I carry out my research using a range of techniques from simple conceptual ideas to large state-of-the-art global circulation models.
