Benjamin Riordan
Research fellow, La Trobe University
Benjamin Riordan is a post-doctoral research fellow in the Centre for Alcohol Policy Research (CAPR). His research interests are broad, but predominantly he focuses on using emerging and new technologies to understand and intervene with young adults who use alcohol. At CAPR, he co-leads the research stream on alcohol, media, and emerging technology, which focuses on understanding:
1) How is alcohol depicted or discussed in media (e.g., social media, films, music)?
2) What is the impact of exposure to alcohol-related content in the media?
3) What are the opportunities for policy change or interventions?
Prior to moving to CAPR, he was a post doctoral researcher in Addiction Medicine at the University of Sydney (where he is still an affiliate; 2019-ongoing), he was a Fulbright Fellow at Brown University (2017-2018; Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies) and completed his PhD at the University of Otago (2019; Department of Psychology).

Benjamin Schneer
Assistant Professor of Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
Benjamin Schneer is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. His research is in American politics and focuses primarily on political representation: how citizens express their preferences, how government responds to them, and what may shape and distort these processes. His most recent papers have studied just how much of an effect the media has on the national political conversation, the role that petitioning has played in American political development, and the returns to elected office based on future earnings from corporate board service and lobbying. His research has been published in journals including Science, the American Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, and Studies in American Political Development and has received coverage in media outlets including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Economist, and Fast Company.

Benjamin Selwyn
Professor of International Relations and International Development, Department of International Relations, University of Sussex
Benjamin researches and writes about global value chains, poverty and inequality, and global food systems.
He is author of a number of books, the most recent being The Struggle for Development (Polity: 2017)

Other publications include A Green New Deal for Agriculture (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03066150.2020.1854740).
His books include 'Workers, State and Development in Brazil: Powers of Labour, Chains of Value' (Manchester University Press: 2012), based upon field research in North East Brazil throughout the 2000s.
The book investigates how the Brazilian state, local public and private institutions and firms collaborated to implement a successful upgrading strategy within highly competitive global horticultural value chains, which resulted in North East Brazil becoming Brazil's main high-value grape exporting region. Within that context he investigated the extent to which workers benefitted from the region's rapid economic growth. The book details how the export boom has impacted on local level develoment, in particular on local labour standards, conditions of work and pay rates, gendering of work and women's participation in rural trade unions.
He is also author of 'The Global Development Crisis' (Polity: 2014) which addresses the central paradox of our times - the simultaneous presence of wealth on an unprecedented scale, and mass poverty. It explores this paradox through an interrogation of the work of some of the most important political economists of the last two centuries - Friedrich List, Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Schumpeter, Alexander Gerschenkron, Karl Polanyi and Amartya Sen. In the book he advance's the concept of 'Labour-Centred Development' as a means of overcoming this paradox.

Benjamin Stappers
Professor of Astrophysics, University of Manchester
My primary research interests are radio pulsars, neutron stars and rapid radio transients. I am a member of the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) and international Pulsar Tming Array (IPTA) projects which are attempting to use precision timing of radio pulsars to detect gravitational waves which have a freqeuncy in the nano-Hz regime. These waves are thought to have been generated by processes in the early universe, either inflation, cosmic strings or binary supermassive blackholes have been proposed.
I lead an ERC funded project called MeerTRAP which searches for radio transienst, including pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts, with MeerKAT. It operates commensally on many of the observations being undertaken with the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) radio telescope pathfinder called MeerKAT. It has the capability to detect and localise FRBs over a range of redshifts. I am also co-PI of the pulsars and fast transient project TRAPUM which also runs on MeerKAT. It is revealing hundreds of new pulsars in many different environments from globula clusters to our nearest neighbour galaxies. I am also co-PI of the transients key science project of LOFAR and the head of the pulsar science working group for the same telescope. LOFAR is the LOw Frequency ARray which is a very large radio telescope working at frequencies between 10 and 240 MHz. It is the most sensitive telescope ever built at these frequencies and wass the first of the next generation of radio telescopes which uses large numbers of small elements. As well as using these next generation telescopes I am also involved in the specification and building/wirting software for the pulsar and fast transient search capabilities of the SKA itself which will be the world's largest telescope.

1585 Neil Avenue Columbus, OH 43210
Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk serves as Associate Vice President for Health Promotion, University Chief Wellness Officer, and Professor and Dean of the College of Nursing at The Ohio State University. She also is a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at Ohio State’s College of Medicine.
Dr. Melnyk’s groundbreaking work spans evidence-based practice, intervention research, child and adolescent mental health, and health and wellness.
In 2013, Dr. Melnyk became one of the few women and nurses elected to the Institute of Medicine – a division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine whose members counsel government and private sector leaders to help them make informed health decisions. Election to the IOM is among the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine.
Appointed by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials, Dr. Melnyk also served a four-year term on the 16-member United States Preventive Services Task Force. That independent group of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine works to improve the health of all Americans by making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services such as screenings, counseling services, or preventive medications.
She founded the National Interprofessional Education and Practice Collaborative to advance the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Million Hearts® initiative and its goal of preventing one million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. Dr. Melnyk also founded the National Consortium for Building Healthy Academic Communities, a collaborative organization to improve population health in the nation’s institutions of higher learning.
Since arriving at Ohio State in 2011, Dr. Melnyk has overseen significant steps toward establishing the nursing program there among the nation’s elite. In 2015, OSU’s master’s program in nursing was named among the nation’s top 25 by U.S. News and World Report – putting it among the top five percent of nursing programs nationwide – and the College of Nursing was designated by USN&WR as one America’s top 10 for both master’s and undergraduate online education.
Also in 2015, the OSU College of Nursing received a $1 million gift from FloAnn and John Easton to establish an endowed professorship for child and adolescent health – an important step toward improving health outcomes for a key at-risk population.
Dr. Melnyk has secured more than $19 million in sponsored funding from federal agencies as principal investigator and her findings have appeared in more than 280 publications. In 2002, she received the Jessie Scott Award from the American Nurses Association, recognizing her work to improve health care quality through the integration of research, education and practice. And Dr. Melnyk has been named one of the most 30 influential nursing deans by The Mometrix Blog, which based its selections on data including awards, Top 10 rankings, NIH funding, and NCLEX passing percentage.
Dr. Melnyk is co-editor of four books, including Evidence-based Practice in Nursing & Healthcare: A Guide to Best Practice, Implementing EBP: Real World Success Stories, A Practical Guide to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Screening, Early Intervention, and Health Promotion (2nd Ed), and Intervention Research: Designing, Conducting, Analyzing and Funding, an American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award winner.
Dr. Melnyk earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from West Virginia University, her Master of Science degree with a specialization in nursing care of children and pediatric nurse practitioner from the University of Pittsburgh, and her PhD in clinical research from the University of Rochester – where she also completed her post-master’s certificate as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Bernard Lohr
Research in my lab focuses on the sensory biology of songbird acoustic communication. I am interested in understanding the relationship between the production and perception of communication signals in the context of their mechanism, development, function, and evolution. We take an integrative approach that draws on methods from behavioral ecology, comparative psychology, neurophysiology, and evolutionary biology to investigate fundamental questions in animal communication. How do animals encode information in the signals they produce? How do they extract information from such signals perceptually? How do these processes function in “noisy” natural habitats? And, ultimately, what factors shape the evolution of such processes? Understanding the interdependencies of signalers, channels, and receivers is essential for knowing how a biological signal functions in its natural context.
