Anastasiia Mikheeva
Event Manager - Atoms to Galaxies
Russian MSc Science Communication and Public Engagement student at the University of Edinburgh. I am sure that even the most abstruse scientific topic can be clarified in a 15 minutes’ time, especially along with a nice pint of beer!
Giovanna de la Hoz Baños
Event Manager - Atoms to Galaxies
I only just graduated from Biology in Spain and moved to Edinburgh for an internship experience. I am a science and English language geek, so this first experience in PoS is going to be awesome; I can't wait for it!

Hi! I’m Jaime (not pronounced as you think). I'm a Galician biologist now studying Science Communication in Edinburgh. I’d love to empower the people to change things and discover the beauty of our world. Science allows you to do this and it’s fun!
Celia Du
Event Manager - Atoms to Galaxies
I am a MSc Science Communication & PE student. I love showing people how fun science is and how anyone can be a 'science person'! As I’ve done many science activities for children, I’m excited to do events for adults. After all, learning never ends!

I am a second year PhD student working in Cardiovascular Science at QMRI and representative for CVS students. I am very passionate to stay under the microscope but I also really believe that one of the essential aspect of science is the communication. Lover of beer and pubs, I think that ‘pint of sc...
Issy MacGregor
Event Manager - Our Body
I am a third year PhD geneticist. Typically I can be found juggling not just microscope slides but rugby balls, recipe books and maybe a few pint pots too. PoS 2018? Beer and science, I defy you to find a better combination.
Helena Chaytow
Event Manager - Our Body
Science is my work and passion. What I love about science is that there's always something new to learn, and I enjoy hearing about other people's work just as much as talking about my own research. So where better to chat science than over a pint?
Hannah Stewart
Event Manager - Our Body
I am part of the MSc Science Communication course in Edinburgh. I believe that science is something anyone can enjoy, and what better way to learn something new than with a pint in hand? Excited to be involved in PoS 2018!
Caoimhe Kirby
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
As a PhD Student in Translational Neuroscience I am fascinated by our brains and how small molecules within our cells can impact the way we think and feel. And as a proud Irishwoman I think the pub is the best place to discuss science with everyone!
Anna Padanyi
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
Research master student at Edinburgh University with a special interest in learning, memory and decision-making. I'm looking forward to being part of PoS 2018 as I believe science should become as much of a part of everyday life as going to a pub is.
Jenny Lennon
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
First year PhD student in Biomedical Sciences studying all things ‘fly’. If I had any other hobbies I would write about them here...but it's only science and beer for me, which is why I can't wait for PoS 2018!
Sara Moberg

MScR student in Integrative Neuroscience with a fascination for anything involved in learning. Other than my financially unsustainable love for coffee, I love running, discovering new routes and beautiful parks around this very green city.
Sau Tsoi
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
Currently doing an MScR in Integrative Neuroscience and absolutely loving lab work. When I die I hope they preserve my brain in a jar. Perhaps I’m already a brain in a jar. Who knows?
Beth Macrae
Event Managet - Our Society
I'm a Masters student studying the Psychology of Mental Health. I think communicating science research to people outside the field is incredibly important, especially when thinking about how certain topics impact society. If this can be done informally and over a pint then all the better!
Scott Dillon

I’m a PhD student in bone biology at The Roslin Institute, specialising in different kinds of imaging. I love being involved in Pint of Science as it allows me to combine science communication and pints!

Jeanne Loue-Manifel

PhD student in Plant Biology, I’m crazy about plants and amazed by every single little thing out of the ordinary. Don’t forget that without plants we wouldn’t be able to enjoy our favourite beverage : beer ! So let’s talk about plants

Aiming to become a biochemist, I am absolutely fascinated by everything science-related and would like as many people as possible to feel the same! Apart from science I am a passionate horse rider and love to travel all around. Uniting pubs and science seems like the perfect combination
Camille Simonet

I am doing a PhD in evolutionary biology. I am interested on the determinants of microbe’s behaviour and how this affect Human health. Science is about exchanging ideas and sharing knowledge, a pub sounds perfectly appropriate for that! I always go for an IPA and punk IPA is one of my favourite!

I’m a Master student from the University of Edinburgh studying psychology and mental health. I love to meet all kinds of people, I love this feeling to be connected with others. No one is an island, entire of itself. It is interesting to see how the society works. It is even more exciting to see it ...
