PhD Candidate in Public Health Nutrition, Deakin University Sarah Dickie is a Public Health Nutritionist currently completing a PhD in Food Policy at Deakin University's Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN). Her PhD analyses the science underpinning the use of nutrition classification schemes in policy actions. Sarah's research to date has focused on evaluating the implementation of Australia’s Health Star Rating front-of-pack labelling system and develping methods to incorporate the NOVA classification system into policy actions. She is a founding member of the advocacy group Healthy Food Systems Australia.
Adjunct Research Fellow, Earth Sciences, The University of Western Australia Janet completed her B.Sc (Hons) at UWA in 1972 with a research project looking at the role of banded iron formation in the genesis of nickel sulphide mineralisation at Mt Windarra, W.A. After four years working for industry and GSWA she returned to UWA to undertake post-graduate studies of high-grade metamorphic rocks in the Narryer Terrane of the northern Yilgarn Craton. Extensive experience of electron probe microanalysis as part of her PhD project led to a post-doctoral fellowship in the Electron Microscopy Centre (now CMCA) on completion of her post-graduate studies. Janet returned to consulting and contracting work in the mineral exploration industry in 1991 before returning to UWA and CMCA as a Research Associate in 2005 and retiring in 2016. She has been an Adjunct Research Fellow in the School of Earth Sciences since 2016.
Adjunct Professor, The University of Western Australia I have undergraduate (BSc, Hons) and postgraduate (PhD) degrees from the University of Western Australia (UWA), Perth, Australia. I worked as a Development Geologist with WAPET before returning to UWA, where I was awarded: i) an ARC Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship (1997-1999) for research on tracing ancient oil migration; ii) an ARC Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship (2000-2005) on the application of phosphate minerals to date major environmental and biological events in the early rock record, and; iii) an ARC Australian Professorial Fellowship (2011-2016) to investigate the early history of atmospheric oxygen and the Great Oxidation Event. This work has focussed on tracing the composition of the early hydrosphere and atmosphere through time, and the antiquity and evolution of early life. In 2006, a major research program was initiated, funded by the ARC and industry (BHP, Rio Tinto), on the transformation of banded iron formations to iron ore. Current research is centred on understanding: i) how iron formations were deposited and what they tell us about ancient ocean chemistry; ii) the early history of phosphorus and the co-evolution of life; iii) Precambrian carbon and the origin of ancient fossils; iv) the tectonic and mineralization history of Precambrian cratons and orogenic belts, and; v) the potential role of mineral templates in the development of the first living cells.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Psychiatric Epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet Lisa Dinkler is a postdoctoral researcher in psychiatric epidemiology at the Centre for Eating Disorders Innovation (CEDI) with primary research interest in eating disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders. Her current research focuses mainly on avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Using epidemiological and twin designs as well as genome-wide association studies, I am trying to understand the genetic and environmental causes of ARFID, its comorbidities (e.g., with autism, ADHD, and anxiety), and its course over time.
Profesora titular de la Facultad de Biología, investigadora de patologías visuales, Universidad de Salamanca Soy bióloga, doctora en Neurociencias y profesora titular de la Facultad de Biología de la Universidad de Salamanca. En mi etapa predoctoral realicé estancias en la Universidad de Lund, Suecia y en la Universidad de Tübingen, Alemania. La etapa postdoctoral, de 4 años, la realicé en The Scripps Research Institute, en La Jolla, California. En el año 2006 regresé a España con un contrato Ramón y Cajal y desde el año 2011 soy Profesora Titular de la Universidad de Salamanca. Investigo patologías visuales en el Instituto de Neurociencias de Castilla y León, soy miembro del Instituto de Investigación Biomédica de Salamanca y he publicado más de 60 artículos científicos y varios capítulos de libros. Actualmente soy directora del Servicio de Microscopía Electrónica de la USAL y soy miembro de la Comisión de Innovación del IBSAL. Soy socia de la Asociación de Mujeres Investigadoras y Tecnólogas (AMIT), de la Asociación Española de Comunicación Científica (AEC2), de la Asociación Española para el Avance de la Ciencia (AEAC) y de la Sociedad Española de Neurociencias, en la que en la actualidad soy tesorera y responsable del comité de comunicación.
