Richard Schuster
I am the Director of Spatial Planning and Innovation at the Nature Conservancy of Canada and an Adjunct Research Professor at Carleton University, studying the ecological impacts of human activities and develop novel techniques to prioritize conservation areas and strategies. I have a theoretical and applied background in quantitative ecology and statistics and spatial big data analysis. I develop novel analytical tools for researchers and other practitioners to explore and use in conservation planning and management.
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.
Susanne Schweizer
Dr Schweizer is a Scientia Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales. Her translational research programme identifies cognitive and social targets for intervention and prevention of depression and anxiety during developmentally sensitive periods.
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.
Teresa M Seccia
Associate Professor in Internal Medicine, Dept. Medicine, University of Padova, Italy.
International PhD Degree in 'Arterial Hypertension and Vascular Biology'.
Field of interest: Clinical and translational research in high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.
