Applied Geomagnetic Researcher, South African National Space Agency
Amoré Nel attained her BSc in applied mathematics at the University of Stellenbosch and her BSc (Hons) in astrophysics at the University of the Free State. She was awarded the South African National Space Agency Masters Scholarship and attained her MSc at the North-West University studying near-Earth solar turbulence. She then attained her PhD in space physics in 2019, reporting on the discovery and analysis of a new type of aurora while on field work in Norway. She was also part of the 2018/2019 Antarctic take-over team doing routine maintenance on the scientific instrumentation at the South African Antarctic base.
Her postdoctoral work was at the Helmholtz GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (Potsdam, Germany) where the focus was on recording and analysing magnetometer observatory data, Southern African regional geomagnetic field models, and external geomagnetic field studies using joint satellite and ground based observatory data.
Her areas of interest have been studying near-Earth solar turbulence and the solar-cycle dependences of solar turbulence quantities, upper atmosphere studies using incoherent scatter radar and optical methods to investigate small scale auroras in Norway, and abrupt secular variation changes in Earth's geomagnetic field. She was nominated for the 2024 TWAS Award in Physics, Astronomy & Space Sciences and became co-investigator in the NASA-IMAP mission to study the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium.
Currently she is the applied geomagnetic researcher at SANSA Space Science and aims to further pan-African geomagnetic research and innovation by deploying magnetometer stations near and adjacent to the magnetic equator in Kenya and Ethiopia respectively. She is passionate about promoting international cooperation in the field of space science and her aim is to create a strong link between the South African National Space Agency and the African space science community, enabling cross-training and knowledge sharing.

Associate professor of child public health, Swansea University
Amy's background is in psychology and she now applies psychology to understanding health behaviour and developing behavioural interventions. Amy is particularly interested in infant and maternal health during pregnancy and the first year postpartum and how varied psychological, social and cultural factors can affect decisions and experiences at this time.
Amy specialises in research around how babies are fed; whether they are breast or formula fed, how they are introduced to solid foods and the impact these decisions could have on their long term eating behaviour and weight. Over the last twelve years she has explored how choices made around how babies are fed are rarely simply those suggested by policy as ideal, but instead affected by a multitude of complex factors, often outside the mothers' control.
In particular, her research focusses on why feeding babies is a public health issue, affected heavily by societal and cultural beliefs and behaviours, and therefore why responsibility for feeding should not lie solely with the mother. Interventions to improve infant feeding choices should instead be targeted at wider society.
Her long-term aim is to develop interventions to support new mothers to feel confident, informed and supported in their choices.
Amy's book "Breastfeeding Uncovered' is published in October.

Assistant Professor of Physics, University of Tampa
My research interests lie in understanding how the universe begins and evolves through the most energetic astrophysical explosions: gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), supernovae, merging neutron stars and black holes. My main research utilizes GRBs detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a multi-wavelength space telescope dedicated to studying GRBs and the transient sky. GRBs are seen from within our neighborhood of galaxies to the early universe when the rst stars were expected to form (Fig. 1). I use GRBs to explore the history of the universe, and study how nature can form these energetic bursts from either the collapse of massive stars or merging of compact objects like neutron stars and black holes.
