The Team

Juan José Lauthier

Argentina Director

A PhD in Biology and Medicine, but above all, passionate about sharing science. I believe that knowledge shouldn't be confined to papers or laboratories, but rather should reach everyone in a clear and fun way. And what better way to do this than over a conversation with a beer in hand? 🍻

Eduardo Bessa

Brazil Director

I am a fish voyeur, a biologist specialized in fish reproductive behaviour. I truly believe people have the right to be informed about science, but, more importantly, to be enchanted by scientific knowledge.

Thomas Auvray

Canada Director

Edu Tipantuña

Ecuador Director

Biotechnology Engineer with a specialization in Medical Genetics and Genomics, and a Master’s degree in Quality Management Systems. I am passionate about science communication, and my goal is to share valuable knowledge and make science accessible to everyone.

Ivette Buere

Mexico Director

Not a scientist but a firm believer in the importance of science and facts, especially in the times we're currently living in. Hoping to help bring back curiosity and the desire to learn in everyone.

Michelle Arredondo

Mexico Director

Chemist by profession, researcher by passion and teacher by conviction. I am currently working on developing nanotechnology projects to provide solutions to medical problems. Transmitting and doing science is my goal.

Claudia Ratti

US Director

I am a theoretical nuclear physicist from Italy, now faculty at the University of Houston. I want to make people passionate about physics and science in general, and I think Pint of Science is perfect for this! I am excited to bring it back to the USA.

Fanny Etienne

US Director

I am a neuroscientist from France and now in Los Angeles. I am fascinated by microglia cells (the most beautiful cells in the brain!) and their role during aging. Outside of the lab, I love climbing, hiking and sharing my passion about science ! I am so excited to bring Pint of Science back to the U…

Johannes Jahan

US Director

I am a postdoc in theoretical nuclear physics at University of Houston, coming from France. I have been involved in scientific outreach since I was a student, as much as bridging gaps between different fields have always been at the center of my research!
