Natalia Lawrence is a cognitive neuroscientist who has a background in experimental psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and clinical research. She combines brain imaging and experimental psychology methods to study emotional processing in a range of psychological disorders.

Elisa Becker is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford. She works on behavior change interventions that help people reduce their meat intake, both online and in the real world, and is interested in the emotional processing of meat and other underlying mechanisms of how and why certain interventions work.

Sophie Hearn is a PhD student in psychology at the University of Exeter in the UK, where she also earned an MSc in psychological research methods. Her research combines cognitive, social, and experimental psychology to explore health-related behavior change and to design and evaluate interventions. Her PhD research is investigating how month-long abstinence campaigns, such as Veganuary and Dry January, lead to short- and longer-term changes in meat and alcohol consumption.
