Bryan LuuJessica TaylorDr. Zivkovic- North Carolina State
University
Blog editor at Scientific American, Biology teacher, Chair of
ScienceOnline conference, editor of Open Laboratories (best of
science writing on the web). His blog "Blog around the clock" looks
at "Making strange connections between science, religion, brain,
language, and sex"Dr. Pabayo-Harvard University Roman Pabayos
research encompasses the social determinants ofhealth. He has
conducted studies that look at the role of environment on physical
activity, smoking, and dietary intake behaviors. While at Harvard
School of Public Health, he hopes to gain more experience and
insight on how social inequalities influence our health. Health
outcomes include blood pressure, self-rated health, and
mortality.
Dr. Hekimi-McGill University StudiesC. elegansto discover
proteins and processes that are involved in lipoprotein metabolism,
a part of metabolism that is implicated in several age-related
diseases, which is why we are also studying drugs that effect these
processes.
Dr. Farrelly- Queens UniversityThe leading cause of disease and
death in the world today is evolutionary neglect. Because the force
of natural selection does not apply to the post-reproductive period
of the human lifespan, aged persons are highly susceptible to the
chronic diseases of aging, like cancer, heart disease and stroke.
In an aging world perhaps no other field of scientific research is
as important to the health prospects of todays populations as
biogerontology. This science might enable us to eventually modify
the biological clocks we have inherited from our Darwinian past,
thus permitting humans to enjoy more years of disease-free life.
Colins research focuses on the social and political obstacles that
impede aging research and the aspiration to decelerate the rate of
aging.
Dr. Sherratt- Carleton University
Dr. Lane- University of Ottawa
Dr. Lanes research interests include decision-making processes,
simulation modeling and control of dynamic systems, especially in
the area of natural resource management and commercial fisheries,
oceans management, and aquaculture. He has published peer-reviewed
papers in Operations Research, OPTIMUM, the Canadian Journal of
Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, the European Journal of Operational
Research, INFOR, and the American Journal of Mathematical and
Management Sciences. He has also prepared proceedings for the World
Fisheries Congress (Brisbane and Vancouver), major reports for the
International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) on
quota management systems, and for the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD), Fisheries Committee on the
evolution of fisheries management performance and fisheries
management and climate change.
