Nicholas Wu is a Lecturer in Wildlife Ecology at Murdoch University and leads the Wu Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology (WEEP) Lab. His research integrates physiological principles with ecological and evolutionary theory to study species' responses to environmental change, particularly for bats and other wildlife. BSc in Biological Sciences, University of Waikato (2012) PhD in Ecological Physiology, University of Queensland (2019) The WEEP Lab combines experiments, field observations, and computational models to address two core questions: (1) How do species respond to environmental and anthropogenic change? (2) How does physiological variation scale into broad ecological and evolutionary patterns? The lab emphasizes conservation applications, mentoring future scientists, and open science practices. Recent research (2025) reveals global seasonal fattening patterns in bats, showing they store fat not only in cold climates but also in tropical regions during dry seasons. This survival strategy is now being disrupted by climate change, threatening ecosystem stability through impacts on bat energy balance and food web dynamics.

Rino Wiseman Adhikary is an Honorary Fellow at Deakin University's School of Education within the Faculty of Arts and Education, affiliated with the Research for Educational Impact (REDI) center. His work focuses on the intersection of global education policy, globalization dynamics, and national education systems, with particular attention to how policies travel, adapt, and transform across borders. His academic background includes: PhD in Education from the University of Queensland (2019) European Master's in Lifelong Learning Policy and Management from Deusto University, Spain (2013) MA in Education from Aarhus University, Denmark (2012) Adhikary's research primarily examines how global education agendas, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), interact with national priorities in the Asia Pacific region. His work critically analyzes the growing influence of philanthropy and venture capital in shaping social entrepreneurial education policies, especially in developing contexts. A significant portion of his research focuses on 'Teach for Bangladesh' as a case study of global policy transfer, examining how this model traveled through networks of diaspora, finance, technology, and media to become established in Bangladesh through complex policy work. His publication record shows a consistent trajectory from critical analyses of World Bank and UNESCO education policies (2012-2014) through methodological innovations for studying global education policy (2019) to his current focus on SDG4 implementation and data politics (2024). His work demonstrates increasing sophistication in analyzing the epistemic processes behind global education governance, particularly how technical bodies like the UNESCO Institute for Statistics develop consensus on measuring SDG4. His scientific recognition includes: Dean's Award 2019 from the University of Queensland Post-thesis Honorary Fellowship 2020 from the University of Queensland's School of Education The Richard Baldauf Memorial Prize 2018 for best article by an RHD student The International Post-Graduate Research Scholarship (2015-2018) from the Australian Commonwealth The UQ Centennial scholarship (2015-2018) While the text doesn't specify formal student supervision, Adhikary has been actively engaged in research projects examining global education policy networks. His current work investigates how global elites shape education indicators through processes he terms 'views from elsewhere,' challenging the depoliticized narrative of global consensus. His research contributes significantly to understanding the complex interplay between global education governance and national implementation contexts, particularly in the Global South. Adhikary works within Deakin University's Centre for Research for Educational Impact (REDI), contributing to their mission of generating research that influences educational policy and practice. His research bridges theoretical understandings of policy mobility with practical implications for how global education agendas are implemented in diverse national contexts.
