Dr. Catherine Jayne Tennick is Senior Lecturer and Course Leader for the BSc (Hons) Forensic Science at the University of Lancashire; she is also a Member of the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Cat has been involved in teaching and research for over 20 years, including topics such as death and decomposition, forensic trace evidence, forensic casework examination, analysis and interpretation of forensic evidence, sharp force trauma, and forensic taphonomy. She has collaborated with a number of forensic and policing organisations such as Lancashire Constabulary and Cellmark Forensic Services.

In her spare time, Dr. Tennick enjoys science communication, delivering live shows at festivals, engaging in science stand-up comedy, and working with schools and colleges. She co-authored the book "Unmasked: The Science of Superheroes," which explores the scientific principles behind popular superhero abilities.

In addition to her academic and outreach activities, Dr. Tennick has presented forensic material for the BBC in various formats, including live radio broadcasts and television appearances on BBC One's "Crimewatch Live," where she demonstrated forensic techniques.

Jonathan graduated from Bristol Vet School in 2005. He started residency in veterinary anatomic pathology 2006 at the University of Liverpool.  He became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Pathologists in 2010. He subsequently completed his PhD investigating Pathological Epithelial Cell Shedding in the Small Intestine in Endotoxic Shock in 2013. He then moved to the Royal Veterinary College in 2015. Since joining the RVC he has gone on to design and implement an anatomic pathology database, and fully digitise and integrate the anatomic pathology glass slide teaching collection. In 2019 he set up a complete slide scanner and digital pathology pipeline which allows online sharing of slides for diagnostics, teaching and research. His research concentrates on image based and computational AI based approaches to pathology.

Dr. Heather Cameron-Whytock is a Senior Lecturer in Animal and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Lancashire. Her research primarily focuses on equestrian eventing, particularly large-scale epidemiological studies aimed at identifying risk factors associated with horse falls. In addition, Heather has investigated both horse and rider stress during eventing competitions and has recently explored rider kinematics using deep learning neural networks for human feature recognition. Her work aims to provide actionable recommendations for governing bodies to reduce the risk of injury and fatalities in eventing, ultimately enhancing the safety and welfare of both horses and riders within the sport. Heather has contributed to safety and welfare-focused initiatives for organisations such as the FEI, British Eventing, Equestrian Australia, and Redwings Horse Sanctuary.

Dr. Dey Tarusikirwa is a Veterinary Clinical Lecturer in Applied Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry at the University of Lancashire. His research focuses on infectious disease epidemiology, particularly on zoonotic diseases that cause reproductive failures in production animals in low-income settings. His work aims to provide insight on the impact of infectious diseases of livestock origin on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in communal settings as well as the public health risk that these diseases pose to people working with farm animals and animal byproducts, ultimately improving farm animal health, welfare as well as food security and public health. In recognition of his contributions to agricultural development and One Health research, Dey received the Young Development Agriculturalist Award from the Tropical Agriculture Association in 2022.
