Darren N Saunders
Senior Lecturer in Medicine at the University of NSW and visiting fellow at the Kinghorn Cancer Centre, Garvan Institute in Sydney, Australia. Science communicator and past deputy chair of the Australian Academy of Science Early-Mid Career Researcher Forum. Australian Leadership Award (2012), NSW Life Scientist Research Award (2010).
My research is focused on proteostasis and metabolic reprogramming in cancer and neurodegeneration, integrating various platforms (including proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics) to better understand genotype-phenotype relationships. I have a long-standing interest in protein homeostasis (proteostasis), publishing numerous manuscripts providing mechanistic insights into serpin biology and the Ubiquitin-proteasome system, with more recent work aimed at characterising novel mutations involved in protein misfolding and Ub systems in various disease states. I developed a novel platform for screening protein-protein interactions in situ, and novel proteomics approaches to systematically identify E3 Ub ligase substrates and for exploring interactome diversity in cell signalling. We use a number of models systems including patient-derived iPS cells, patient derived tumour xenografts and transgenic models of cancer and neurodegeneration. I am also collaborating to develop creative technology-based approaches to visualizing and communicating complex data, using music to explore the intersection between genetics and environment.
Susanne Schmid
Susanne Schmid is an Associate Professor at the University of Western Ontario. Her research focuses on sensory information processing and sensory gating mechanisms. She uses mainly rodents to explore synaptic mechanisms and neuronal circuits underlying sensory gating in healthy subjects and in animal models for schizophrenia and autism.

D Samuel Schwarzkopf
Originally trained as a neurophysiologist with Frank Sengpiel (Cardiff), Sam has done cognitive neuroscience research on the human visual system since 2007. From 2008 until 2018 he worked at UCL (first as postdoc with Geraint Rees, followed by five years as independent research fellow). In 2017, he moved to the University of Auckland, New Zealand, continuing visual neuroscience research in the School of Optometry & Vision Science.
He is a Recommender (editor) at the PCI:RR and is an editor at PeerJ for Registered Reports going through this route.
Claudia Scorolli
I am a Cognitive Scientist working as Associate Professor at the Department of Philosophy and Communication Studies of the University of Bologna.
I obtained my PhD in Philosophy of Language, Linguistics and Cognitive Sciences in 2009 at the University of Bologna, and my PsyD in Clinical Psychology, specialized in Analytical Psychodrama, in 2014 at the Mosaico Institute of Bologna (certified by MIUR).
My research has been focused on grounding of language in sensorimotor processes, as well as on language as social tool which modifies human's way to interact with the world. My experimental work currently extends to the study of the possibilities for physical/social interactions offered by the current interactive context, i.e. physical and social affordances. My scientific interest includes the investigation of cultural factors influencing cognitive and emotional processes.
From a clinical perspective, I have scrutinized new clinical interventions in the field of neurocognitive disorders, as psychosocial interventions for people with dementia.
Sophie Scott
Group Leader of the Speech Communication Lab and Deputy Director at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL. Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow. Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience. Honorary Degree from the University of Poppleton.
Scott is known for her public engagement work, including performing standup comedy, and was featured in a September 2013 edition of the BBC Radio Four programme The Life Scientific. In March 2014, she was invited to give a Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution on the science of laughter. Her work on laughter has also toured science fairs and exhibitions as part of the Laughter_lab project. She has been awarded a UCL Provost's Award for Public Engagement. Sophie Scott will be presenting the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in 2017. Entitled 'The language of life', the Lectures will explore the topic of communication.
