Nathan Waddell
Associate Professor in Twentieth-Century Literature, University of Birmingham
I teach and research early twentieth-century literature, with a core emphasis on the life, work, and controversies of the painter and writer Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957). All of my research is collaborative—with students, postdoctoral scholars, university administrators, and individuals based outside of higher education—and I seek always to make my teaching similarly reciprocal, treating literary scholarship as an urgent conversation about culture and its indispensable place in the world.

Nathaniel Johnson1
Assistant Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics, University of North Dakota
I received my doctorate only a year ago in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences. My dissertation focused on protein intake and muscle health. I have two-years of experience working a biomedical engineering laboratory, and five-years of experience as a research assistant for the Department of Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences. Despite having limited time with my doctorate, I have completed an eclectic range of research projects including four clinical trials, several cross-sectional human cohort studies, two analyses of large, publicly available data, three reviews, and other benchwork projects, including those using qPCR, fluorescence microscopy, and lithography which was done in a clean room. I have published 13 research papers including 6 as the first or last author. Moreover, I accomplished these activities despite severe disability; I have had more surgeries than can be counted on one’s hands and am currently suffering from a surgical complication that results in severe pain, abdominal cramping, and nausea. As the founder and organizer of the UND Affinity Group for Faculty and Staff with Disabilities and Chronic Conditions, I am passionate about nutrition, disability, and equity.
My contributions to science revolve around dietary intake, muscle health, and disability. My early research was largely focused on muscle health and disability and not dietary intake. This research agenda led to several impactful findings: (1) handgrip strength is associated with a host of negative health outcomes including disability, mortality, and cognitive impairment; (2) excess sleep time is associated with disability; (3) asymmetric handgrip strength (i.e., one hand being stronger than the other) is also related to disability.
After examining muscle health and disability, my research shifted to investigate the impacts of dietary intake on muscle health. This avenue of research led to following discoveries: (1) evenness of dietary protein intake is associated with increased muscle mass, strength, and endurance; (2) animal-based protein intake was related to increased muscle mass and strength in middle-aged men and women, while not being a risk factor for metabolic syndrome in women; (3) time restricted feeding resulted in better body composition than continuous energy restriction. I also investigated the use of a novel miRNA sensor’s ability to measure miRNAs associated with weight loss during a weight loss intervention, examined the effects of an online intervention on the physical activty profiles of older adults, and wrote about the gastrointestinal manifestations of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and dietary approaches for their management.

Nathaniel Morris
Honourary Lecturer, Department of History, UCL
Nathaniel Morris is a historian of modern Mexico and Central America. He's particularly interested in Indigenous politics, rural rebellions, revolutionary movements, and drug production and trafficking. Before taking up his current post as an Associate Lecturer, he was a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow at UCL, where he carried out a three-year research project on the history of militias in Mexico.
His current book project builds on this research by exploring the ties of history, memory, space and culture that link the armed ‘self defence’ forces active throughout the country today, to the popular paramilitary groups that helped to shape the Mexican Revolution of 1910-40. He has also written extensively about the roots of the modern Mexican drug trade, the contemporary cultural and political impacts of opium production and heroin trafficking on the Indigenous Náayari, Wixárika, O’dam and Mexicanero peoples of Mexico’s Gran Nayar region, and the participation of these same groups in the Mexican Revolution, which was the subject of his first book, Soldiers, Saints and Shamans (https://uapress.arizona.edu/book/soldiers-saints-and-shamans).

Ndivhuwo Shivambu
Post Doctoral Research Fellow and Lecturer at the Department of Nature Conservation, Tshwane University of Technology
I have a strong academic and research background, with a focus on zoology and a deep interest in biodiversity conservation, invasive species, and molecular biology. My educational journey began with a BSc in botany and zoology and an Honours degree in zoology from the University of Venda, where I developed a foundational understanding of animal biology and ecosystem interactions. During my MSc at the University of Pretoria, my research centred on the role of the pet trade and scientific laboratories in facilitating the spread of invasive rodents in South Africa. This project allowed me to develop practical skills in field research, data collection, and analysis, and it deepened my understanding of the ecological risks posed by human activities.
For my PhD at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, I expanded my focus to examine the risk associated with exotic mammal species in the South African pet trade, an area of significant importance for both conservation efforts and policy-making. Through this work, I developed my expertise in molecular biology techniques, particularly DNA barcoding, to assess genetic diversity and monitor invasive species. I also became interested in studying exotic bird species that establish feral populations outside their native ranges, which has broader implications for managing invasive species.

Neil D’Cruze
I am interested in a range of conservation and animal welfare issues. Through my research, I seek to obtain the data needed to inform practical solutions that reduce the suffering of wild animals and protect wild populations.
Since 2004, I have led biodiversity surveys throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and Central America that have generated baseline ecological data for a range of different taxa in previously unexplored areas.
These field surveys led to the discovery of six new species and also secured the first wild photographic evidence of the endangered Visayan spotted deer and Warty pig via remote camera trapping in the Philippines.
More recently, I have also been involved in addressing a number of complex global issues that threaten wild animal welfare and survival including human-wildlife conflict and wildlife trade.
My efforts have helped to improve the welfare and conservation status of a wide range of different species including Sloth bears in India, Civets in Indonesia, Brown bears in Turkey, and Green turtles in the Caribbean.
A professional photographer, images relating to my research have also featured in a number of high profile media publications such as the Guardian, Der Spiegal, Le Monde and National Geographic.
During my career I am fortunate to have lived, worked and travelled in over 40 countries across 6 continents and have published over 30 peer-reviewed scientific articles. I first joined WildCRU as visiting academic in 2014.
