Independently verified: current affiliation, public profile and published contact confirmed from the open record.
Pamela Ronald
Ronald isolated the rice immune receptor XA21 and helped develop the flood tolerant Sub1 rice now grown by millions of subsistence farmers in South Asia. Elected to the National Academy of Sciences, she continues to dissect how plants detect microbes and leads public engagement on genetics in sustainable agriculture.
Mark Stetter
Stetter, a zoo and wildlife veterinarian by training, leads one of the world's foremost veterinary schools through a period of major expansion, including new hospital facilities and One Health initiatives linking animal, human and environmental health. His published commentaries set out a vision for training future veterinary leaders and widening access to the profession.
Ermias Kebreab
Kebreab led landmark experiments showing that adding small amounts of the seaweed Asparagopsis taxiformis to cattle feed can cut enteric methane emissions by more than 80 percent in feedlot settings. As Associate Dean of Global Engagement, he applies nutrition modelling to make livestock production compatible with global climate targets.
