Bighorn Sheep,Climate Change,Elephants,elk,Large Mammals
Ryan Long spends his summers in Gorongosa National Park in Africa’s Mozambique. There, you will find him chasing after the region’s antelopes and elephants, as he explores how the varied ecosystems within the park influence its large mammal community.
Long was instrumental in studying the elephants of the region, which are some of the world’s most elegant examples of human-induced evolution. Poachers battered the local herds during a civil war, and Ryan and his research partners found that the spate of violence led to the evolution of tusklessness in female elephants. The number of female elephants without tusks tripled in the park following the war.
When he's not in Africa, Ryan does research in Idaho on the region's bighorn sheep and elk.
Available to speak on:
- The effects of climate change on large mammals
- The evolutionary consequences of trophy hunting
- Human-wildlife interactions
Glycosciences
Recruited by the Department of Chemistry in 2019, Samy Cecioni is a young researcher who demonstrates exceptional research potential in the emerging fields of biological chemistry and glycomics. He has already published 30 articles in the most prestigious journals and contributed to three protected inventions, not to mention more than 2000 citations, which makes his scientific production globally influential.
In the opinion of his colleagues, he will certainly become an international leader in his discipline. Since his arrival at the Department of Chemistry, he has obtained numerous funding, notably from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Establishment of Young Professors (FRQNT), to name just these organizations. . Its research group is well established and recognized at the MIL Campus Science Complex and it already attracts dozens of local and international students.
Samy Cecioni is also involved in the libraries of the University of Montreal while devoting (another!) part of his schedule to participating in symposia or international events. Not only does he promote his area of expertise on the international scene, but he promotes the entire University.
Samy Cecioni's exceptional commitment to research and teaching will undoubtedly contribute to significant progress in the field of chemistry and health in general. His ambitions are great... and he has all the potential and perseverance to achieve them.
“Our research team is developing new tools to accelerate discoveries in the field of glycosciences. The set of molecules modified by sugars is sometimes described as the dark matter of life, and we propose multidisciplinary approaches at the intersection of chemistry and biology to enable advances relevant to human health,” explains -he.
Shardé Smith, Ph.D
Associate Professor
College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana-ChampaignAfrican American Studies,Mental Health
Dr. Smith is finding ways to contribute to the reduction of mental health disparities for African Americans. She does this by examining racism, social support, and mental health in the family context. She also investigates the barriers to, and facilitators of, mental health treatment among African American youth and their families.
More Information:
She earned her M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Purdue University-Calumet and Ph.D. in Family Relations from Florida State University. Her research focuses on the effects of social stress exposure on mental and behavioral health outcomes within the African American family context and the role of social support as a protective factor. A primary area of her research focuses on the intra- and interpersonal effects of racial discrimination on mental health in the parent-child and the couple context. Overall, findings from her research demonstrate within-group variation in how stress exposure impacts the African American family’s mental and behavioral health and highlights the need to go beyond between-group differences.

Fae Heaselgrave, PhD
Program Director for the Masters of Communication (DMCO)
University of South Australiabusiness and management,Commerce,film,Language,Management
Fae is currently the Program Director for the Master of Communication degree and coordinator of the year-long capstone industry placement, providing ongoing academic and professional mentoring to students and strategic support to industry partners.
She has more than 12 years academic experience, teaching the theory and practice of public relations and professional communication to students in the classroom and online at UniSA, Flinders University and Charles Sturt University.
Fae also has ten years prior industry experience as a strategic communications professional in the UK and in Adelaide, having working in public health for the Department of Health, the disability sector and in primary health care research.
Fae's research focuses on the impact of digital media use on everyday life. Her PhD thesis (2021) examined mothers’ interactions with digital media as users and facilitators of children’s use, utilising theories of mediatisation, domestication of technology and parental mediation to identify changes in the communicative practices of contemporary mothers. The study revealed that children's increasing use of digital media for schooling, entertainment and social interaction, coupled with societal expectations about a mother's role, adds an additional layer of responsibility on mothers to provide unpaid digital care to children (Heaselgrave 2023).
Current projects include researching the challenges and opportunities of video gaming for parent players and, specifically, any differences in the gameplay practices of mothers compared to fathers, and building an evidence-based framework with an industry partner to inform future policy decisions about Australia's media classification system, making it more accurate and useful for families.
