Lo Hockenhull
City Coordinator
After taking part in PoS 2017, I decided it was time to get involved again, this time as city co-ordinator. I've got a varied Science background, from biology to geology, and lots in between. Science communication is my day job, and I love combining my two favourite things: science and pints!
Daniel MacDougall
City Coordinator
I loved being on the Edinburgh comms team for the 2017 festival and after a year off, I couldn’t resist coming back for more pints + science. I studied Science Communication at university and I currently work in science policy and public engagement.
Nuiok Dicaire

I am a PhD student in Informatics with a background in Math and Physics. I love Science, and enjoy talking about it and sharing that passion.
Mikey Jarrell
Comms
Currently studying science communication, my other hat is that of a freelance event production manager in the live music industry. I think science should be as much a part of cultural life as music, arts and literature. Not forgetting pints - as a former bar manager, I know my way around world beer.
Molly Osborn
Treasurer
I'm a science communication professional and administrator working at both the National Museum of Scotland and the BHF/University of Edinburgh Centre for Cardiovascular Science. I love numbers, science, and pints, so I jumped at the chance to be the Treasurer for this year's Pint of Science!
Loes Elemans
Webmanager
I'm a PhD student in Cardiovascular Science, passionate about unravelling the mysteries of the human body! When not in the lab, you will find me enjoying a craft beer or planning my next global adventure. Cheers!
Thomas Denney
Event Manager - Atoms to Galaxies
I am a first year undergrad student studying economics and math hoping to become a pilot after uni! I have always been fascinated by what science can teach and explain to us and can't wait to bring some exciting speakers to Edinburgh's pubs! What better way to get to know other science lovers?
Theodora Varelidi Strati
Event Manager - Atoms to Galaxies
Hey! I am a Theoretical Physics masters student at the University of Edinburgh. I am passionate about space and I find engaging with the public about research very rewarding! I’m looking forward to PoS’19!
Claire Gormley
Event Manager - Our Body
I am a MSc student in Science Communication and Public Engagement at the University of Edinburgh. My background is in biotechnology and lung cancer research, but I also love learning about space, the environment and the brain. In my free time, I like to read, do yoga, and play with my cat, Cosmo!
Elisa Pesenti
Event Manager - Our Body
I’m a molecular biologist by training and I work as postdoc for the Centre for Synthetic Biology at the University of Edinburgh. I’m intrigued by molecular details of life and I’m currently working to develop Human Artificial Chromosomes to study mechanisms of DNA division during cells replication.
Jessamyn Briers
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
I am studying a masters in Science Communication and Public Engagement. I love talking about science to anyone and everyone especially over a pint in the pub!
Laura Berthoud
Event Manager - Beautiful Mind
Postgraduate student in cognitive science, I'm passionate about learning how and why people perceive, think, act. More generally, I love to spark curiosity and make others excited about science through new questions, discussions and events.

Currently pursuing an MSc in Cognition in Science and Society at the University of Edinburgh. Research in the Philosophy of Cognitive Science with a particular interest in the ethical considerations and implications of cognitive science for artificial intelligence.
Caterina Mogno
Event Manager - Planet Earth
Born and grown in Italy, I moved to the high latitudes of Scotland for starting a PhD in Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. Besides science and science communication, I enjoy travelling, sailing and in the last few years I discovered also photography.
Franco Giovanetti
Event Manager - Planet Earth
I am a Geospatial Technologies professional with a variety of academic and professional interest including remote sensing, mapping, renewable energy development, and data visualization techniques.
Monika Mendelova
Event Manager - Planet Earth
I'm interested in glaciers, in particular, what is left behind when they disappear, and in long term climate change. I use big boulders that were transported by ice as clocks to reconstruct glaciers' great past. I have worked in Patagonia, the Arctic and Antarctica.
Alice Drinkwater
Event Manager - Planet Earth
I'm a 1st year PhD student at the Uni of Edinburgh, in atmospheric science. I'm working on modelling and metrology of clumped isotopes of methane, to understand the composition and behaviour of greenhouse gases. Science outreach is important to me, in particular engaging women and girls in physics.
Linda Azodi

I’m studying Physics and really can’t decide which part is my favourite. I like going to science presentations and am looking forward to being a part of organising one!
