In my day job I study how neurons balance their impulses between inhibition and stimulation. Pint of Science gives me the opportunity to share enthusiasm about neuroscience while inhibitions are blunted by ethanol.
Andreea-Ingrid Baloc
Beautiful Mind Event Manager
I am a first Year PhD student, studying the interaction between the immune system of the brain and the rest of the body. After attending neuroscience outreach lectures, I decided that the best ones always involve alcohol, so I am very excited to help organise Pint of Science events!
