Laurence Zwiebel
Professor of Biological Sciences and of Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University
The major focus of the Zwiebel laboratory is the characterization of specific genes and their products that control important behavioral processes in the life cycle of insects that act as disease vectors, particularly host (i.e. blood-meal source) seeking/selection in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the principal vector for malaria in Africa. Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium that is transmitted to humans through blood feeding by female Anopheline mosquitoes. In this context, the Zwiebel lab is examining the molecular events of olfaction, as this sense predominates the overall host preference and other essential behaviors in mosquitoes and other insects. This aspect of the mosquito’s behavior is especially important as it makes a significant contribution to the vectorial capacity of this arthropod vector, as well as playing a similar role in the overall impact of many other insects of economic importance.

Laurent Husson
Earth sciences researcher, Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA)
Geophysicists call me a geologist, geologists call me a geophysicist. In practice, I am mostly interested in quantifying the processes operating within the Earth system in general. The geosphere is central to my research, but the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere are indiscriminately crucial to my research.

Lavinia Iancu
Assistant Professor of Forensic Science, Director of the Forensic Science Program, University of North Dakota
Dr. Iancu received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology (Faculty of Biology, Bucharest University), followed by two master’s degree programs (European Master of Forensic Sciences and Medical Biology Master). She earned the PhD title in biology (forensic entomology and microbiology expertise) within the Romanian Academy, Institute of Biology Bucharest.
In her research, Dr. Iancu is committed to advancing the study of forensic entomology and microbiology, aiming to identify novel biomarkers for the estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). The research focuses on investigating the necrophagous insects and bacteria diversity and dynamics associated with decomposed tissue, in correlation with the climatic parameters, aiming to provide new data useful for forensic investigations worldwide by emphasizing novel PMI estimators.
Her concept of education consists greatly in teaching with passion, in respecting each student and inspiring them through the way of being and existing; treating each student individually, being able to observe their motivation and passions. Her beliefs are that a professor needs to support the students, find what really motivates them, and in the forefront of forensic sciences, a goal unites them all, the fight for justice and finding out the truth; and in this sense, knowing that each student has their own motivation they can work in a team, where each one can bring their contribution.
Dr. Iancu’s experience and contributions to the field have been recognized by the numerous peer-reviewed articles in the field, by the Henry C Lee scholarship Award, the AAFS Outstanding Early Career Achievement in Forensic Science Award received from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, The Fulbright Senior Award for initiative and leadership in advancing forensic entomology research, the Romanian Academy “Grigore Antipa” Award, granted for the pioneering work in the field of forensic entomology and microbiology, and the Itterman Faculty Professional Development Award granted by the College of Arts & Sciences in recognition of exemplary teaching while maintaining excellence in research and service.

My first book Treating the Aching Heart (2007), presents a guide to the circular relationships among depression, stress, and heart disease. My second book, Toxic Stress (2024), explores how some kinds of stress are killing us early and what we can do about it. Over the last ten years I have posted blogs on two themes: Pearls from our Stress Response System, and the Art and Science of Making Contact.

Leah Gray
PhD in Conservation Science, University of Aberdeen
PhD Student. My project focusses on the impacts of agricultural wetland management and predation pressure on the breeding success of wading birds on the Orkney Islands, with specific focus on the effects of the ongoing stoat invasion and eradication scheme. The islands support internationally important densities of breeding waders, and my project aims to advise the development of effective agricultural wetland management to improve breeding wader outcomes. The project is in collaboration with the RSPB, NatureScot, and The Orkney Native Wildlife Project.
Before starting my PhD, I graduated in Zoology from The University of St Andrews where I researched nest building behaviour in blue tits, specifically demonstrating how temperature changes influenced the timing of nest building behaviours. During my undergraduate degree I discovered a passion for research and went on to complete an MRes degree at St Andrews. This project focussed on group anti-predator behaviour in flocks of Eurasian oystercatchers on Eden Estuary, demonstrating how oystercatchers transfer departure information between group members and how the group processes departure information to co-ordinate decisions.
I am passionate about conserving Scotland’s avian biodiversity and connecting people to nature through bird watching. In my free time I most enjoy being outside with my dog, usually with binoculars in hand. I am also training to be a bird ringer, helping to monitor the survival of important Scottish bird species such as crossbills.
