David Liu
Professor of the Natural Sciences at Harvard University, Harvard University
David R. Liu is the Richard Merkin Professor and director of the Merkin Institute of Transformative Technologies in Healthcare, vice-chair of the faculty at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the Thomas Dudley Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences at Harvard University, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator. Liu’s research integrates chemistry and evolution to illuminate biology and enable next-generation therapeutics. His major research interests include the engineering, evolution, and in vivo delivery of genome editing proteins such as base editors to study and treat genetic diseases; the evolution of proteins with novel therapeutic potential using phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE); and the discovery of bioactive synthetic small molecules and synthetic polymers using DNA-templated organic synthesis and DNA-encoded libraries. Base editing—the first general method to perform precision gene editing without double-stranded breaks, and a Science 2017 Breakthrough of the Year finalist—as well as prime editing, PACE, and DNA-templated synthesis are four examples of technologies pioneered in his laboratory. These technologies are used by thousands of laboratories around the world and have enabled the study and potential treatment of many genetic diseases.
Liu graduated first in his class at Harvard College in 1994. During his doctoral research at UC Berkeley, Liu initiated the first general effort to expand the genetic code in living cells. He earned his PhD in 1999 and became assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard University in the same year. He was promoted to associate professor in 2003 and to full professor in 2005. Liu became a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator in 2005 and joined the JASONs, academic science advisors to the U.S. government, in 2009.

David M. Greenberg
Music psychologist, University of Cambridge
My research examines musical behavior at the intersection of personality, social, and cognitive science. It begins from that standpoint that differences in musical experience are not random, but are rather tied to various psychological and cultural processes. Recently, our work has shown that personality and cognitive styles predict musical preferences and musical ability. We also explore a range of other topics including musical talent and skill in autism, how music is linked to resilience and well-being, and whether music can increase empathy and communication skills.

David MacLeod
Lecturer in Climate Risk, Cardiff University
My research focus is climate risk: understanding weather and climate variability and its impacts. I work on forecast horizons from days to decades ahead.
A key part of my work is evaluation and experimentation with initialised climate models. This supports understanding of the drivers of extreme meteorological events, and the degree to which they can be predicted.
This scientific work forms a cornerstone of my work supporting international humanitarian organisations to use forecasts for anticipatory action.
To communicate key ideas to non-scientific partners (and in my teaching) I also use and design "serious games". These are play-orientated activities designed to interactively explore concepts and build core understanding in an engaging way.

David McGahan
Visiting Researcher, Griffith University
I am a bioarchaeologist with particular interest in the mechanisms that drive biological diversitfication. My research primarily concerns understanding environmental adaptive variation, skeletal biomechanics, and functional anatomy. I employ 3-D modelling of bones and engineering principles to understand the ways in which human behaviour influences skeletal anatomy. With backgrounds in both archaeology and clinical human anatomy, I became involved in archaeological excavations throughout, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Since 2010, I have concentrated on projects in Philippines, Indonesia, and Eastern Australia, seeking to understand hominin expansion through the region over the last million years. The Maros karst of South Sulawesi is my current research focus and vital to understanding population dispersal and behaviour at the ecological, geographic and cultural crossroads of mainland Sunda (mainland East Asia) and Sahul (Australia and P.N.G.). My other area of interest is environmental adaptations in Senegalese savannah chimpanzees and their relevance to human evolution.

PhD Candidate, English, and Research Assistant, Western University
I am a PhD Candidate in English who specializes in early American literature and early Black writing. My interests revolve around eighteenth-century transatlantic literary discourses, particularly the many ways how romance as a genre or literary mode crisscrosses the Atlantic.

David Samson
Associate Professor, Anthropology, University of Toronto
David’s research directly addresses the central anthropological question of human uniqueness. In other words, the question that drives his work is what is it about our species that has made us the most successful animal on the planet? In the quest to understand what makes humans special, he’s comparatively worked with human and non-human primates (and wolves and dogs) around the globe to better understand the behavioral, physiological, and cognitive suite of traits that likely played a crucial role in our success. Specifically, his research investigates the link between sleep and human evolution through revolutionary new approaches, recording sleep data sets and sleep architecture for a range of primates including lemurs, zoo orangutans, wild chimpanzees, and humans living in different types and scales of societies. His research has probed sleep’s role in cognition, sociality, and group dynamics throughout human evolution.
