Team Members
Claudia Velhas
I’m a science communicator and interactive exhibition developer. I have worked with several museums developing exciting learning experiences for all ages! When I am not “sciencing”, I’m either dancing, singing or learning to play the guitar!
Ton Falques
Catalan scientist happily expatriated to Sweden. A convinced believer on the importance of the open science communication and in our responsibility as researchers to share what we are doing. In Lund trying to elucidate the mechanisms how leukemia become resistant to the chemotherapy treatment. "It's öl about science, my friends!"
Eliska Waloschkova
PhD student in Neurobiology wanting to share the amazing world of science! I come from the Czech republic and in my studies in Sweden I focus on developing cell-based therapy for epilepsy.
As I say: "Science is like magic, but real!"
Sohan Sarangi
PhD student in Pharmaceutical Science, exploring drug delivery through inhalation route. I believe that the best ideas are born when discussed over a pint of beer, what could be a better way to inspire and share knowledge PoS. Looking forward to see you at PoS 2019
Julia Bardh
Environmental scientist and freelance journalist covering climate change and the environment. It is my strong belief that in order to make a change - science has to become available for the broader public - and here I see huge potential for Pint of Science!
Alex Karlstens
I have studied material science endangering and are working with the development of thin film solar cells in Uppsala. Green technology and innovation is a passion of mine as is my love for science. I can hopefully contribute in spreading interesting scientific knowledge in a fun and engaging way.
Henrike Wiemker
I am a science journalist and by profession loves science as much as communicating it. As she also likes beer and bars, what else should she be doing during her free time than organizing Pint of Science?!
Daniel Borshgovski
Originally from Finland, works now in Karolinska Institutet studying the effect of aging on intestinal stem cells. Passionate about turning science fiction into science fact, and interested in science communication.
Andreas Heuer
I am a neuropsychologist by trade but somehow ended up in doing animal research. I am mainly interested in the cognitive aspects of Parkinson’s disease and how to ameliorate the behavioural deficits using cell replacement therapy. Originally, I am from Germany, but have enjoyed living and learning in the Netherlands, Australia, Wales, and Sweden over the last 20 years. In 2018 I started my own research group, the Behavioural Neuroscience Laboratory at Lund University, Sweden. I very much enjoy talking about science as well as beer…
Ana Amaral
I am a biochemist and work at Karolinska Institute studying tissue stem cells – cells that maintain our tissues or repair them in case of damage. I love science communication and to take part in events that bring science closer to the general public.
Susanne Sundell
I have a PhD in public health and work as a coordinator at the Faculty of medicine’s Careers Centre at Lund university. I love my job supporting scientists and PhD students and have a passion for science communication. I have a big contact network and often find myself asking curious questions about everything. I truly believe science can change the world and make it a better place. It will be even better when enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere!
Ana Osorio Oliveira
Neuroscientist & Passionate Science Communicator! I’ve been studying neurological diseases for a decade. The way our brain works never ceases to amaze me & I love to share that as well! Traveling, Dancing, Photography & Cooking are a MUST in my life!
Lars Riekehr
Nano is my scale and I enjoy counting atoms and diffracting electrons on a daily basis. Not doing any research myself but assisting others to achieve their goals! Got dragged into Pint of Science organization by a flatmate and don't regret to be part of it. Because what could be more fun than sitting in a bar and listen to someone explaining cool science stuff?
Dominika Radziun
I work as a PhD student at Karolinska, where I investigate the beautiful ability of the human brain to reorganize itself, called neuroplasticity. I love talking about neuroscience, especially to younger public. If not in the lab, I cook good vegan food.
Ben Libberton
I’m a microbiology researcher turned full time science communicator. I previously worked at Sweden’s synchrotron MAX IV where I developed an interest in physics and material science. I’m passionate about science communication and public speaking.
