Senior researcher of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University
Line is a Danish researcher with the Dept. of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University, and the Dept. of Clinical Research, Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre, Denmark. Line completed postdoctoral training with the Moffitt-Caspi Lab at Duke University, supported by an international postdoctoral fellowship from the Lundbeck Foundation.
With an M.Sc. in Molecular Biomedicine and a Ph.D. in Immunology and Infectious Diseases, both from University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Line is an immunologist and epidemiologist by training. Line has brought together the field of life-course epidemiology with a strong background in laboratory methods and biomedicine to address fundamental questions about health and illness from childhood to old age. Her research integrates theory and methods from immunology, clinical research, and population-based studies to identify the risk factors, measures, and outcomes of systemic chronic inflammation with emphasis on its role in biological aging and disease development. Her work is centered on biomarkers of inflammation and biological aging, with focus on the emerging systemic chronic inflammation marker “suPAR”. This work includes clinical prognostication using suPAR, as well as research into early life risk factors for systemic chronic inflammation, immunosenescence (aging of the immune system), and accelerated biological aging.

Emeritus Professor, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University
By background Lionel is a physicist; his doctoral thesis was concerned with the load-bearing properties of the surface of the Moon just prior to the Apollo landings. When ancient lava flows were detected on the Moon in images taken by the astronauts he was amazed to find that there was essentially no literature on the physics of volcanic eruptions that he could use to analyse these flows; as a result he has spent the last 50 years developing mathematical physical models of all types of volcanic eruption.
Spacecraft data have shown that all of the silicate planets - Venus, Mars, Mercury, our Moon, Jupiter's satellite Io, and even some asteroids - have been volcanically active at some point in their lives. Comparing eruption deposits on these bodies, which differ as a result of differences in the acceleration due to gravity and the presence or absence of an atmosphere, has been a major spur to Lionel's research. He has been involved in the analysis of data from virtually all of the spacecraft that have visited the inner planets and asteroids, as a Principal Investigator in the Nasa Planetology Program, and as a Visiting Professor at two U.S. institutions, Brown University and the University of Hawai'i. His contributions to planetary volcanology have been recognized by the American Geophysical Union, with the N.I. Bowen Award in 1983, and by the Geological Society of America, with the G K Gilbert Award in 2005.

Retail Expert, PhD Candidate & Sessional Academic, University of Sydney
After ~20 years experience within FMCG/CPG interfacing with grocery retailers and all other consumer channels across tier 1, tier 2, regional manufacturing and start up suppliers, I am seeking to help solve industry problems through academic research.
I have been fortunate enough to undertake my PhD at The University of Sydney which ranks #18 globally in QS rankings for 2025. I commenced part-time in 2022, and within two years my research area was a global issue. I see this as fortunate. I engage weekly with industry bodies, suppliers, retailers, regulators and government. helping solve issues which industry is too busy to solve, will help make it better and keep the industry and consumers. This is the most fun I have had in a long time, fixing problems which help more stakeholders is what drives me.

Chief Scientist, Center for Bioethics and Humanities and Professor of Medicine and Public Health, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Professor Lisa Bero is a pharmacologist and researcher in evidence-based health care who is internationally renowned for her studies on the integrity of clinical and basic research evidence that is used to influence health policy, and the manner in which evidence is communicated to key groups such as physicians, policy-makers, journalists and the community.
Professor Bero is recognised for her methodological studies on bias (including publication/reporting, design and funding biases) in the fields of clinical medicine (pharmaceuticals), tobacco control and environmental research, and on the use and implications of the evidence for prescribing decisions/policy.
Her expertise lies in investigating hidden biases in the design, conduct and publication of research, and includes ground-breaking work that demonstrated the selective reporting of data for drugs approved by the FDA which showed that including unpublished outcomes of drug studies in meta-analyses changes the results of all relevant meta-analyses. These findings have contributed to open access data reforms such as access to information from drug regulatory agencies and improved reporting requirements for clinical trials on the clinicaltrials.gov registry.

Lecturer of English, University of Virginia
Lisa Goff joined the University of Virginia's American Studies faculty in the fall of 2012 and has a joint appointment with the Department of English. A cultural historian who studies the American landscape, she teaches classes in cultural landscapes, public history, theories and methods of American Studies, the history of journalism, and gender and social media.

Her first book, Shantytown, USA: Forgotten Landscapes of the Working Poor, will be published in April 2016 by Harvard University Press. The book argues that shantytowns constitute an alternative vision of American urban space between 1820 and 1940, and that conflicts over shantytowns as places and symbols of working-poor culture were an essential element in the formation of twentieth-century class difference in the United States. She is currently working on a second book project, which examines restoration as a theoretical concept and a practical application that spans disciplines, geographies, and centuries.
