Résumé :
THIS TITLE EITHER HARKENS BACK TO YOUR favorite Disney ride or makes you want to close the journal right now. What brings me to write under such a corny banner? Well, it started when my 15-year-old was telling me about the philanthropy committee she sits on at school and the report she was writing outlining which charities she thought the school’s fundraising should support. This followed hot on the heels of a story in the local paper about a high school that had worked for four years to build a school in Africa. All this led me to think about philanthropy in nursing and what our role might be in the global village.

Résumé :
When I posted to LinkedIn some time back to generate publicity for my Geophysical Society of Houston technical lunch talk on beam tomography, one of the interesting comments from a colleague at a large service company was that beam technology is “a technology with many benefits that unfortunately is commonly regarded as old school/low tech.” I loved receiving the comment because it gives me an opportunity to talk about one of my favorite business concepts that I always look to apply: high-tech low tech. “High tech” is a term for new technology that incorporates advanced features. “Low tech” is old-school technology. I'll start with an example: the story of the Nest thermostat.

Résumé :
Abstract It is a great pleasure to return to Montreal to receive the Charles Goodyear Medal at this joint meeting of the American Chemical Society, Rubber Division, and the Rubber Chemistry Division, Chemical Institute of Canada. This occasion has given me a delightful opportunity to renew old friendships in both organizations and to visit again my graduate school at McGill. First of all, I thank the Awards Committee and the Executive Committee of the Rubber Division for electing me to this high honor which I share with my many collaborators who were with me during those exciting years, and with the Shell Companies. The subject of the lecture is “Thermoplastic Elastomers,” specifically the triblock copolymers based on styrene and dienes, or hydrogenated dienes. Previously I have used the subtitle, “A Successful Innovation,” where I have defined “innovation” as the successful commercialization of a new technology, process, or product. In this lecture, I shall discuss the background of the innovation, the impact of it upon the thermoplastic elastomer field, and some of the early history of thermoplastic elastomers, which I believe you will find interesting.

Résumé :
I attended my first MLA convention in Chicago, in 1973. A frugal graduate student, I stayed at a nearby YMCA but huddled in the evenings with a friend from graduate school in the Palmer House lobby where we shared, surreptitiously, a flask of bourbon and laments about the awful job market. I could never have imagined that forty-five years later I would be delivering the presidential address. During the years since that Chicago convention, I have worked with the executive director Phyllis Franklin, who invited me and a few others to think with her about how the MLA might accommodate what we then called composition and rhetoric. I have worked with Rosemary Feal, who became the executive director as I joined the Delegate Assembly Organizing Committee and who left the MLA shortly after persuading me to stand for election to the office of second vice president. In my participation on task forces, division committees, the Publications Committee, the Delegate Assembly Organizing Committee, the Executive Council, and most recently as an officer, I have been continually impressed by the talent, commitment, and resourcefulness of those who work for the MLA. I am grateful to belong to an association with such an excellent staff, and I want to offer special thanks to my friend Paula Krebs, whose first full year as executive director coincided with my term as president. Her keen intelligence, administrative skill, and fierce advocacy for our profession convince me that the MLA is in very good hands.

Résumé :
Abstract Growing up in the 1930s and being educated in England was much easier than it is now. The high school curriculum was necessarily pretty limited, and my energy went into physics, biology, and chemistry. At the University of Reading, I was pointed towards fisheries research. My first job interview resulted in me being hired as a “naturalist” at the Lowestoft Laboratory. My first trip on the North Sea, in winter, went well, and my boss Michael Graham showed me how to handle live fish gently. Back from that first voyage in spring 1946, I was introduced to my new colleague and close collaborator, Ray Beverton. Three lumps of coal is what Ray and I were allowed per day to keep us warm in the little annex of a terrace house on Lowestoft’s seafront. Much of the technical work on our 1957 book was completed by about 1950 when I left to take a job with the Nature Conservancy. In December 1953, I began a 25-year career with Food and Agriculture Organization’s Fisheries Division, which eventually led to my involvement with whales and the International Whaling Commission’s Committee of Three. My final years returned me to management issues regarding fisheries, especially demersal fishing in European Union waters, focusing on the matter of choosing target fishing mortality for sustainable fishing.

Résumé :
Whit Au served on my dissertation committee at the University of Hawaii and mentored me while I was in the Marine Mammal Research Program at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (1997–2003). He guided me through the process of recording echoes from objects ensonified by dolphins and oversaw my first human listening study. When I became a professor, I continued to study dolphin bioacoustics. I also broadened the scope of my research program to accommodate the interests of my students, just like Whit did. In this talk, I will summarize several animal perception and cognition projects I have pursued with my graduate students. First, we explored how humans discriminate acoustically among bottlenose dolphin signature whistles with and without masking by boat noise. In another study, we investigated auditory rhythm perception in African penguins. Next, we researched long-term memory in river otters using multimodal stimuli. One of our current projects focuses on visual object perception and learning in olive baboons. I will always be grateful for Whit’s support when I was in graduate school and I will continue to follow his model for graduate student mentoring in the future.

Résumé :
In May 2014, soon after the MA Conference in Nottingham, and soon after the passing of Roger Wheeler, a staunch member of the MA, who had been my teacher at school, I had the idea that my presidential address in April 2016 might be entitled ‘Inspiring Teachers’. The concept was a talk that might trace my mathematical experiences from grammar school sixth form, through my development in retirement as a contributor to masterclasses for the UK Mathematics Trust and the Royal Institution, learning from the students and from the inspiring teachers at whose masterclasses I assist, to the small understanding of Key Stage 2 Mathematics that I am gradually acquiring through an hour a week with some Year 6 students and their remarkable teachers in a local primary school.A month or so later, when the organising committee was giving shape to Conference 2016, my words were taken as the title of the conference itself. It is deliberately ambiguous and it was gratifying to me to find this last April that its ambiguity had struck melodious chords with other speakers. My presidential address, however, was conceived as a lecture. Like all my lectures it was designed to be an oral presentation. It was not designed to be written down and published as an article. Please bear that in mind gentle reader, and judge accordingly. If you find something of value here I shall be delighted; if not, I shall not be surprised.

Résumé :
In 1970, I began living an odyssey steeped in grace that has carried me these past 40 years. I've had the good fortune to mentor with experts in the fields of psychotherapy, Judeo-Christianity, Taoism, Buddhism, Yoga, and Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine., As the International Journal of Yoga Therapy celebrates its twentieth anniversary, I pause and take note of all that has happened over the past three decades and relish that sublime feeling of satisfaction one gets from seeing one's dream being realized., The day before I started to write this article I sat with eleven other Yoga teachers, each representing a member school of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, each a steward of their Yogic lineage and tradition, each a pioneer in bringing Yoga as a therapy into Western medicine. We met as a standards committee intended to create minimum requirements for Yoga therapist training., One of my favorite quotes states: Planning is absolutely necessary and completely impossible. Clearly, planning or predicting the future of such a new American profession as Yoga therapy is a difficult task. But it is made easier by thinking of this prediction in a new way., I have been on the IAYT board for five years, and I am currently serving as president for a one-year term. Twenty years ago, I was teaching a course called Psychology of Yoga (PSY 352) at Sonoma State University. I created the course in 1969 when I was first hired by the psychology department. When I arrived on campus, the chair of the department asked me, "If you could teach anything you wanted, what would you like to teach?"

Résumé :
In 1980 I Had Resigned My Faculty Position at the Harvard University Law School in order to accept the deanship at the University of Oregon’s law school. Following the public announcement, I received an urgent request from Ron Herndon, a militant black leader in Portland, Oregon. Herndon explained that the school board there was resisting the black community’s efforts to interpret Brown as requiring improve­ments in the mainly black schools rather than integrating them under a plan blacks feared would close many of them and reassign their children to white schools where they did not wish them to go. Herndon urged me to speak for the black community’s position at an upcoming school board meeting. I wondered about the propriety of myself—the new and, probably of some significance, the first black dean of the state’s only public law school—appearing on one side of a heated racial debate. I decided that, appropriate or not, I would appear, and did so. My defense of the black communities’ position gave pause to the school board’s members and much satisfaction to the black community. It was a reprise of my hear­ings in southern courtrooms years before, more theater than substance, but perhaps of some value. While the school board’s meeting was covered on television and in the local papers, I don’t recall that anyone at the law school ever mentioned my appearance. The more telling point is that as a veteran of the efforts to implement the Brown decision, I found myself opposing the school board’s efforts to use Brownprecisely as I had urged beforedozens of courts several years earlier. Now, tardily, having abandonedmy integrationist idealism, I recognized my obligation to supportblack parents’ efforts to provide effective schooling for their children.Where, I wondered, had Brownor our understanding and expectations for Browngotten derailed? Disenchantment with desegregation as a means of solving educational inequalities led to alternative means of achieving effective schooling for those not able to escape to the suburbs or enroll inexpensive private schools. Two major directions are worth examining. One is the effort, now three decades old, to eliminate or reduce the serious disparities in funding school districts within a particular state.

Résumé :
The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program has shaped almost every aspect of my scientific career. It has enabled me to pursue ecoinformatics, a new and growing field, while allowing me to build on my training as an environmental scientist within the context of an intelligent, vibrant, and dedicated team of researchers and collaborators. Skills that I learned initially as part of workshops sponsored by the LTER program—on Geographical Information Systems (GIS), ecological information management, and wireless sensor networks—are now the skills I teach to others in a variety of formal and informal educational settings, including graduate and undergraduate classes. As a leader in sharing scientific data, the LTER program provides a strong positive and dynamic example of how data can be shared to enable new scientific syntheses. I communicate widely within the LTER network and with the larger community regarding the ethics, techniques, and values of data sharing. Collaboration, with researchers and other information managers, is a critical aspect of successfully promoting the sharing of ecological data and the important new discoveries that arise from such sharing. I started my work with the Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR) project in the LTER program at its inception in 1987. I started work at VCR site immediately after completing graduate school, as a postdoctoral fellow (1988– 1991), then subsequently as a co–principal investigator and eventually as principal investigator. Although my primary contribution to the project has been as an information manager, I also engage in a variety of landscape, environmental sensing, and population-related research. Also, I briefly served as principal investigator (1997–1998), when the former and subsequent principal investigator (Bruce Hayden) did a rotation at the National Science Foundation (NSF). Within the LTER network, I have been very active in the Information Management (IM) committee and served on the LTER Executive Committee (1997–2002) and as a cochair of the Network Information System Advisory Committee. In addition, I served as a part-time program director in Biological Databases at NSF (1993–1994). Academically, I am a research associate professor at the University of Virginia, where in addition to my research, I teach courses on GIS.

Résumé :
The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program has made me a more effective scientist because I have had to learn about disciplines that are very distant from my own, and it has helped me see the relevance of my own interests in the context of rapidly changing systems in which human agency is inescapable. Being a part of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) site has extended my educational activities to primary and secondary school situations. It has been both an eye opener and personally very rewarding to interact in city classrooms and after-school programs. I have found myself in demand as a public speaker as a result of serving as leader of one of the two urban LTER programs. My communication skills and strategies have been greatly improved as a result. Collaboration has taught me to listen more effectively and to emphasize dialogue rather than exposition. Multidisciplinary urban field trips are powerful tools for joint research and for communication with people in the community. My role in the LTER network has been as principal investigator of the BES site from its inception in 1997. Before involvement in the LTER program, I conducted urban ecological research in metropolitan New York. My interests beyond urban studies include vegetation dynamics, natural disturbance, and landscape ecology. At the time that my involvement in the LTER program began, I became part of a multidisciplinary and international team conducting a 10-year study of the linkages between rivers and upland savannas in Kruger National Park, South Africa. In the LTER network, I have been a member of the committee on scientific initiatives and the Science Council. I have also contributed to cross-site integration through workshops at the LTER network’s triennial All Scientists Meetings and to cross-site activities such as comparison of disturbance across the network (Peters et al. 2011). I hold a BS and a PhD in botany, specializing in plant ecology. I am currently Distinguished Senior Scientist at the Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies, a flexible position that has allowed me to explore the cross-disciplinary and synthetic approaches required to lead an urban LTER program.

Résumé :
As part of my long-term ecological research experience, I have come to recognize that individual success is not necessarily the hallmark of an effective or successful scientist. To achieve problem-oriented solutions to the grand challenges of society, service and collaboration can have more impact on ecology and society than singular scientific achievements. Because of my experiences with the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program, I promote the idea that collaborative research is essential training for ecosystem scientists. The LTER program promoted the increasing importance of effective science communication at a time when it was not widely appreciated. The LTER program demonstrated to me that engendering a spirit of collaboration was the key to building a network of scientists that could address grand challenge questions. After studying anthropology as an undergraduate in Louisiana, I moved to Florida to work with Daniel Childers in the field of ecology. During my PhD work with him at Florida International University (FIU), I became involved in the Florida Coastal Everglades site (FCE) of the LTER program. During graduate school, I participated as cochair of the LTER graduate student committee. Currently, I am a research assistant professor with appointments at the Southeast Environmental Research Center and the Department of Biological Sciences at FIU. My research focuses on long-term ecosystem responses to hydrologic restoration, carbon cycling, and plant–soil interactions along environmental gradients in the Everglades. I collaborate with researchers at FCE and other LTER sites, as well as with colleagues in the International LTER (ILTER) to broaden the scope and integration of site-based, long-term research. Ecosystem approaches are a hallmark of science in the LTER program, and long-term manipulations at the ecosystem-scale are numerous within the LTER network. Simple ecosystem modeling allows for the integration of responses into a few synthetic variables (e.g., soil nutrient concentrations or carbon accumulation rates). My research in the LTER program strives to identify data gaps posed by such modeling and looks for creative and robust ways to develop data sets that contain a comprehensive suite of input parameters.
