The Team

Lisa Recnik

Austria Director

After having met Pint of Science in the UK and France, I couldn’t help bringing this amazing idea to my home country! I love to mix up languages in conversations, climb yet another mountain or anticipate the next book to add to my bookshelf. I'm so excited about #pint20! :)

Guillaume Corradino

Belgium Director

Passionate about space and green technologies, my day job is to support and promote European research. After more than 10 years living in Belgium I have lost faith in meteorology but I am very excited to help put some science in Belgian pints!

Marina Manganaro

Croatia Director

Chaotic Astroparticle Physicist, focused on extra-galactic sources: I participated in Pint of Science Tenerife and loved it! So I had to start it in my new home, Croatia. I am an enthusiastic Linux user, Dungeon Master and coffee addicted. People always tell me that I am unstoppable!

Allan Stensballe

Denmark Director

Elodie Chabrol

France & International Director

Hyperactive neuroscientist who loves sci-comm! I jumped into the Pint of Science adventure the first year in London, then founded the French one and now I help new countries to launch the festival. My mission? Make science accessible to everyone, everywhere!

Maíra Torres

Germany Director

I’m a Brazilian PhD student at Gene Center (LMU) and my work involves the characterization of jumping genes in a context of neurodegenerative diseases. But better than be in the lab is talk and discuss science with a cold pint on hand!

Jule Schlee

Germany Director

I‘m a curiosity-driven neuroscientist with also a strong focus on science communication and women in STEM. I love not only teaching people of different scientific topics but also just chatting with them while having a pint.

Trish O'Connell

Ireland Director

Ronan Lordon

Ireland Director

Arianna Massaro

Italy Director

Computational chemistry researcher with a PhD in Chemical Sciences. I study models and energy materials and spend my free time dancing salsa, travelling, and turning complex science into simple stories. Science talks are best served with a beer in hand!

Taichi Ochi

Netherlands Director

Switching over to the private sector hasn’t deterred my love for science and promoting it to the public. Previously conducting research in cardiovascular genetics, always happy to chat about latest drug developments, over a biertje of course!

Agnieszka Cuprys

Norway Director

Environmental biotechnologist finding smarter ways to remove micropollutants. I joined Pint of Science in 2021 and haven’t been bored for a second since—there’s always something new and exciting to share and learn! Proud owner of an ever-growing collection of penguin-themed goodies.

Katarzyna Łepeta

Poland director

Molecular biologist and sci-comm enthusiast. Fell for Pint in Basel, now bringing it to my home country. Passionate about visuals for making science accessible. I love learning new things and traveling the world, mountains recharge me, same as a cappuccino with a brownie!

Daniela Domingues

Portugal Director

Brain and beer lover over here! I am a neuroscientist currently working on a project regarding lasting memories in different ways of learning. In the meantime, I enjoy going to the pub with my friends grabbing some beers. I am really happy to bring science to the pubs of Portugal!

Carlos Peris Torres

Spain Director

PhD in Biomedicine, I investigate the effect of the tumour environment on cancer growth and how we can use nanoparticles to improve diagnosis and treatment. I love music, science communication and design. In a local team of Pint of Science Spain since 2018... 2022 is the best year to arrive to the n…

Carine Signoret

Sweden Director

I am a cognitive psychologist using neuro-imagery techniques to understand how human brain operates to allow communication, which is decisive in sharing ideas and thoughts. Being involved in the organization of Pint of Science seems then more than natural for me!

Silvia Cardellino

Switzerland Director

Trained as a plant scientist and now Journal Manager at the OA publisher Frontiers, I am fascinated by the power of science to understand nature. I strive to share my curiosity and have founded the Swiss festival to help bring science to the public.

Natalia Tousiaki

Switzerland Director

Molecular Biologist, pursuing doctoral studies in neurobiology. Intrigued by fascinating scientific achievements in any field (be it archaeology, biology, cosmology, etc.) and I believe this beauty must be shared! Happy to be part of Pint of Science Switzerland!

Fanny Krebs

Switzerland Director

Scientist at the University of Lausanne specializing in the application of molecular modelling to precision oncology and beyond. Delighted to show you that science is cool and not as complicated as people may believe.

Praveen Paul

UK Director & Co-Founder

I'm trained as a neuroscientist and am amazed to see how far Pint of Science has spread! There's a whole variety of scientific research happening across the world and I'm excited to be part of bringing it all together and sharing it with you.
