Linda Richards is an Australian researcher at Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) at the University of Queensland.
The McKnight Brain Institute (MBI) at the University of Florida is a research and teaching center, which conducts integrated Research in neuroscience, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, cognitive science, and related areas.
 The MBI is one of the nation’s most comprehensive and technologically advanced centers devoted to discovering how the normal brain operates, and how we can repair the brain following injury, disease, or aging.
 The MBI has over 300 faculty from 50 Departments in the UF with current major research focuses including neurodegeneration (such as AD, PD, and ALS), age-related memory loss, brain and spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, and addiction.
The Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) is an Australian neuroscience research institute, located in Brisbane at the St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland.
 Founding director Professor Perry Bartlett established the QBI in 2003 with assistance from The University of Queensland, Queensland State Government, and Chuck Feeney, founder of The Atlantic Philanthropies.
 The current building commissioned in 2004 and on 19 November 2007, the current purpose-built facility was opened by former Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.
 Since 2015, Professor Pankaj Sah has been Institute director.
 Professor Linda Richards is the Deputy Director (Research).

 In the 1970s and 1980s, Conn participated in some of the earliest studies of fusion energy as a potential source of electricity, and he served on numerous federal panels, committees, and boards advising the government on the subject.
 In the early 1970s, he co-founded the Fusion Technology Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), and in the mid-1980s he led the formation of the Institute of Plasma and Fusion Research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
 As a university administrator in the 1990s and early 2000s, Conn served as Dean of the School of Engineering at UC San Diego as it established several engineering institutes and programs, including the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, known as Calit2, the Center for Wireless Communications, and the Whitaker Center for Biomedical Engineering.
 While at UC San Diego he also led the effort to establish an endowment for the School of Engineering, which began with major gifts from Irwin and Joan Jacobs.
 Irwin M. Jacobs is the co-founder and founding CEO of Qualcomm.
 While Conn was dean, the engineering school was renamed in 1998 the Irwin and Joan Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego.
