Dr. Jim Palfreyman is a Research Fellow in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Tasmania, specializing in pulsar astrophysics with a particular focus on the Vela pulsar and its glitch phenomena. Based at the Physics department and working from the Mount Pleasant Observatory, he has established himself as a leading researcher in observational pulsar astronomy through his unconventional academic journey. Dr. Palfreyman's educational background reflects his non-traditional path into academia: PhD (2018): "A Long-term Single-pulse Study of the Vela Pulsar" - University of Tasmania MSc (2012): "Consecutive Bright Pulses in the Vela pulsar" - University of Tasmania BSc(Hons) (1985): "Graphics Simulation of Solar Eclipses" - University of Tasmania After completing his undergraduate studies, Dr. Palfreyman worked in computing for decades before returning to fulfill his passion for astronomy. His research centers on the detailed observation and analysis of pulsar behavior, with special emphasis on the Vela pulsar's glitch phenomena where it suddenly speeds up in rotation. His most significant achievement came in 2016 when he captured the Vela pulsar glitch using the University of Tasmania radio telescope at Mount Pleasant - the first time individual pulses had been observed during a glitch, a feat that had eluded astronomers worldwide for 50 years. His findings were published in Nature, establishing him as a significant contributor to the field. Analysis of Dr. Palfreyman's publication record reveals a clear trajectory from pure pulsar observation toward the intersection of pulsar astronomy and gravitational wave physics. His most recent work (2022-2025) demonstrates increasing collaboration with major international gravitational wave projects like LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA, applying sophisticated statistical methods to search for gravitational wave signatures from known pulsars. This evolution reflects the growing importance of multi-messenger astronomy in understanding neutron star physics. While no specific formal awards are documented in the available information, Dr. Palfreyman's work has received significant recognition through: Publication in Nature for capturing the Vela pulsar glitch of 2016 High citation counts for his key papers (e.g., 139 citations for his Nature paper) Regular invitations for media commentary on astronomical phenomena Dr. Palfreyman actively supervises research students and has developed what he describes as "the largest single-pulse pulsar archive in the world" through continuous monitoring at the Mount Pleasant Observatory. He collaborates extensively with international teams, including the LIGO gravitational wave observatory and NICER (an observatory on the International Space Station). His research program receives funding through multiple projects examining pulsar behavior and its implications for fundamental physics, particularly the connection between pulsar glitches and gravitational wave emission. Based at the Mount Pleasant Observatory, Dr. Palfreyman leads a research team dedicated to continuous monitoring of pulsars, with particular focus on the Vela pulsar. His facility provides critical long-term data for international collaborations studying neutron star physics. The observatory's monitoring program has established a unique dataset that continues to yield important insights into pulsar behavior, especially regarding glitch phenomena and their potential connection to gravitational wave emission.

Stephanie Koning is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Behavior, Policy, and Administration Sciences within the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada, Reno. She maintains multiple significant academic affiliations including Faculty Affiliate at the Department of Gender, Race and Identity at UNR, Adjunct Professor at Mahidol University's Faculty of Public Health in Bangkok, Thailand, and Research Affiliate positions at the Carolina Population Center (UNC Chapel Hill), Institute for Policy Research (Northwestern University), Center for Demography & Ecology (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and School of Medicine and Public Health (University of Wisconsin-Madison). Dr. Koning's research program focuses on how varied sources of contextual stress shape health and inequities across generations, with four key contribution areas: (1) social stress in maternal and child health inequities; (2) violence as a multidimensional determinant of health; (3) biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying early-life health origins; and (4) health implications of migration, forced displacement, and legal status. Her work spans Northern Nevada, North America, and Southeast Asia, with special focus on the Thailand-Myanmar border region where she has conducted extensive fieldwork including the UNESCO Highland Peoples Survey health module - the largest census of statelessness globally covering over 77,000 household members. Her methodological approach integrates both qualitative and quantitative techniques, including ethnographic fieldwork, surveys, interviews, biostatistics, epidemiology, and quasi-experimental designs. Dr. Koning has led multiple major data collection projects, including a population-based maternal and child health survey of 824 mother-child pairs grounded in over a year of preparatory ethnography and three years of total fieldwork on the Thailand-Myanmar border. Analysis of Dr. Koning's 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on violence, stress, and health inequities across the life course. Her work demonstrates sophisticated understanding of how structural factors like racism, displacement, and early-life adversity manifest through biological pathways to produce health disparities. Key themes include timing of exposure to adversity, intersectional identities, and cross-generational health transmission. Among her significant scientific contributions are findings on: How maternal early-life disadvantage predicts lower birth weight and signs of accelerated maternal weathering The development of novel measures for 'toxic stressor landscapes' to predict social patterns of adverse birth outcomes How breastfeeding in the first three months explains 80% of the socioeconomic gradient in adult chronic inflammation How historical conflict and displacement shape maternal stress and mental health impacts after childbirth How harmful chains of violence operate through displacement origin and destination contexts jointly Dr. Koning currently serves as Principal Investigator on an NIH-funded project (R21 HD115143) investigating racialized inequities in birth outcomes. She teaches graduate courses including CHS 701: Social and Behavioral Dimensions of Public Health, CHS 729: Applied Multivariable Statistics, and CHS 796: MPH Capstone. Her educational background includes a Ph.D. in Population Health (Epidemiology emphasis) and M.S. in Sociology (Demography emphasis) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2018), and a B.S. in Biology from Wheaton College (2008).
