Marcin Maciej Grynberg
Assistant Professor in The Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. Graduate from The University of Warsaw. Former post-doc at The Burnham Institute, La Jolla, CA. Co-founder of the social scientist movement Citizens of Academia.
Brock A Harpur
Brock Harpur is an Assistant Professor at Purdue University. His work explores the evolution and genetics of honey bees. Brock completed his Ph.D. on population genomics of honey bees at York University. Brock has been awarded the prestigious Julie Payette Research Scholarship from the National Science and Engineering Research Council, an Ontario Graduate Scholarship, the Entomological Society of Canada’s President’s Prize, and was an Elia Research Scholar during his time at York University.
Xavier A Harrison
Senior Lecturer in Ecology, University of Exeter, UK
Co-Secretary, Microbial Ecology Special Interest Group, British Ecological Society.
How important are microbes for determining animal health? My work seeks to understand how host-associated microbial communities can affect traits like digestion, nutrition, and disease susceptibility. I use amphibians as a model system for studying the vertebrate skin microbiome and how it protects against infection by the lethal pathogens Ranavirus and chytrid fungus.
I also study the structure and function of the gut microbiome in migratory birds.
Ann V. Hedrick
University of California, Davis, Ph.D. in Zoology
Brandon P Hedrick
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Sciences, Cornell University
An evolutionary biologist, paleobiologist, and ecologist primarily interested in comparative morphology. I work across the vertebrate tree including reptiles, amphibians, and birds, but specialize on bats and dinosaurs.
Steven Heritage
Dr. Steven Heritage is a teaching professor in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Anatomy at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He is a a clinical & evolutionary anatomist, mammalogist, and phylogenetic biologist mainly working on African mammals. He also serves as a coordinator for the IUCN SSC Afrotheria Specialist Group.
Ryan Hernandez
Assistant Professor at the University of California San Francisco in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences, the Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3), and the Institute for Human Genetics.
Linda Z Holland
Researcher in evolution and development, pioneered amphioxus as a stand-in for the ancestral chordate, Past chair of the Evo-devo division of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Zoology.
David WE Hone
I'm a Reader in Zoology at Queen Mary University of London. I've previously worked at University College Dublin and the University of Bristol and had postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing and the Bayerische Staatsammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie in Munich. My work focuses on the (non-avian) dinosaurs as a whole and especially the carnivorous theropods, and also on the flying pterosaurs.
Zunnan Huang
Professor in Chemistry; Director, Key Laboratory of Big Data Mining and Precision Drug Design; Director, Key Laboratory of Computer-Aided Drug Design of Dongguan City; Vice Dean, Graduate School of Guangdong Medical University; PhD in Computational Chemistry and Physical Chemistry obtained from the University of Oklahoma; Guest Editor, Current Pharmaceutical Design, Current Medicinal Chemistry, Frontiers in Chemistry, Molecules; Reviewer for more than 50 SCI journals including Journal of the American Chemical Society, Science Advances, Nature Communications and Briefings in Bioinformatics. Authors of more than 117 SCI papers with an accumulated IF of 600.
Xiaolei Huang
Professor of Entomology at the State Key Laboratory of Ecological Pest Control for Fujian and Taiwan Crops, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. Main research interests of Xiaolei Huang's lab include insect diversity, systematics, biogeography, behavior, species interactions. His lab focuses on different taxonomic groups (e.g. insect-symbiont, insect-plant, insect-insect) to understand ecology and evolution of the diversity of species interactions. He also works actively on some general issues including data sharing and open science in ecology and evolution, and trends of biological taxonomy. During the recent years, the lab has been establishing specimen collection and DNA barcode library of subtropical aphids and scale insects in China, as well as research platform for studying species interactions and insect ecology and evolution across different disciplines from field ecology to genomics.
