Michael Brown
Conservation Science Fellow, Smithsonian Institution
I am a conservation ecologist interested in developing applied solutions to conservation challenges rooted in scientific understandings of population ecology and movement ecology. Examining these processes through the lens of spatial interactions over time, I hope to better understand how individuals and populations respond to changing environments - from seasonal variation in resource distribution to large scale human-driven disturbances- and exploring how an understanding of these interactions across spatiotemporal scales might be used to craft creative and meaningful conservation strategy.
I am committed to translating scientific findings into meaningful conservation strategy. As such, I work collaboratively with conservation organizations, government agencies and academic institutions to better understand and implement solutions to contemporary issues in biodiversity conservation. Conservation solutions are rooted in trust and understanding across cultural and political divides so I strive to integrate diverse perspectives of thinking and doing in collaborative conservation initiatives.

Michael Dickson
Professor of Philosophy, University of South Carolina
For a couple of decades, I worked in philosophy of physics, especially quantum theory. After a (too-long) stint as an administrator, I have returned to civilian life, and am developing a new research expertise in philosophy of music. This new interest grows out of a lengthy training as a classical pianist and French horn player, a brief career as a professional musician before becoming a philosopher, and a continued abiding and serious interest in both musicology and musical performance. I am currently studying existing work in the field, and developing a few projects of my own.
In addition, I am reviving an old interest in medieval philosophy, originally developed as a graduate student, and subsequently as a teaching avocation at Indiana University, where I worked for ten years in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. Specifically, I have an interest in medieval theories of truth and medieval aesthetics (and the connections between them), among other things.
I have also done some research in game theory, especially variations of signaling games. This work has included both analytical results and simulations of multi-agent systems.
Finally, I have done some work in what we might as well call 'epistemology of of philosophy', focused on the role that so-called 'intuitions' in fact play in contemporary philosophy (which is prominent in some areas) as compared to the role that I believe they should play (which is nil). My view in a nutshell is that rather than citing 'intuition' as a form of evidence, we should admit that we don't know, and just leave such things as 'thoughts deserving of further investigation'.

Michael Golding
Professor of Physiology, Texas A&M University
I am a Professor of Physiology at Texas A&M University. My independent research program focuses on the interface between pregnancy and epigenetics, trying to understand how environmental exposures before conception or early in development cause disease later in life. Through this research, my lab seeks to define the biochemical mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance through sperm, determine how exposure to alcohol influences these processes, and identify the capacity of these heritable changes to contribute to the development of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs).
My long-term goals are to change the narrative on the origins of alcohol-induced birth defects, define epigenetic mechanisms of paternal inheritance, and provide an entertaining yet impactful learning experience to future professionals in the biomedical sciences.
My research is supported by the NIH (R01AA028219) and a Medical Research Grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation and focuses on defining the epigenetic mechanisms by which paternal drinking influences the development of alcohol-induced congenital disabilities.

Michael J. I. Brown
Associate professor, Monash University
I am an observational astronomer, studying how galaxies evolve over billions of years.
I was born and raised in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs. My interest in astronomy began as a child, when the Voyager spacecraft visited the outer planets. I undertook my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Melbourne during the 1990s. For my PhD, I used (now antiquated) photographic plates to identify thousands of galaxies and measure their distribution in space.
In 2000 I joined the staff of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, and started working on surveys of the distant Universe with large ground-based telescopes and satellites. In 2004 I was awarded Princeton University’s Henry Norris Russell Fellowship, and studied the growth of the most massive galaxies. Using thousands of galaxies in the constellation of Bootes, I found that the most massive galaxies have grown slowly over the past seven billion years, which is almost certainly due to mergers of galaxies.
Since 2007 I have been at Monash University’s School of Physics and Astronomy. I am measuring spectra of galaxies across the electromagnetic spectrum, which is useful for measuring the distances to galaxies, the luminosities of galaxies and how rapidly galaxies form stars. I am also using large astronomical surveys to measure how rapidly galaxies are growing, and how this growth compares to the growth of dark matter halos.
