Your colleagues who have been selected as this year's speakers are:

Alexander Bullen is a nephrologist and researcher at the VA San Diego Healthcare System and an assistant professor at UC San Diego. His overarching research interest is investigating kidney biomarkers' role in acute kidney injury.
Moira Decima is an assistant professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Her work combines field work on global class vessels, samples from collections, and experimental manipulations to answer fundamental questions related to plankton structure and function, species distributions and diversity, and the role of zooplankton in marine foodwebs and biogeochemical cycling.
Kelema Lee Moses is an assistant professor in Urban Studies and Planning and trained in architectural history. Her research examines the built environment, land use, and race in the Americas and Oceania within the context of colonial, postcolonial, and decolonial discourses.
